Nice one she writes, my favourite writer. Another thought, most of us enjoying SheWrites stories must find ways to bless her back. Let it not just be awoof. 500naira, 1k, 2k etc can go along way to appreciate this lady. That's my own suggestions, because in this part of the world we are fund of enjoying people's talent without appreciating them. |
The truth is that most times, women fall horrible men, while they rejected good men that would have given them a wonderful, peaceful life. This is a very true fact. A nice good man will be begging for your love, you end up with a horrible man that never gave a dam.n about you. Know one lovely lady that real guys were asking for her love, she rejected men. Married one guy, today that guy left her after 4 kids. Now a single mother tending 4 children, very miserable. Women must shine there eyes |
lexy2014:I think the guy you quoted has given you a very intelligent, reasonable and sound reply. You are saying Christians are not supposed to pay tithe, you quoted acts, he showed you that from the chapter you quoted that the early Christians went above that and gave there all. He asked whether God was against it or anywhere in the bible God commanded Christians not to pay tithe and the answer is no. So what I am Still trying to figure out is you guys don't even have any sound argument on this issue, God never commanded anywhere not to pay tithe. Simple |
Nna nawao. Kai. Very bitter lesson. Funny enough, this happens almost on daily basis here in Nigeria. Kai |
Wow she's back again!! My best writer!!! |
Topgainer:Legalism my foot. Honour the Lord with your substance, and firstfruits of all your increase. Proverbs 3 Like I said, it is in honour, respect to God. Paying Tithe shows that money is not your god. Like I said many, plenty people still pay their tithe, because they have seen the benefits. So most of your arguments are very base less. Most of you that don't pay are still not better economically than those that pay. So which one should we follow again? So the point of the argument is very base less. |
Student125:You know most of you are very funny. Do you think making money is easy? That most rich people in Nigeria are fortunate. I really laugh. Intelligence has nothing to do with making money, there are so many intelligent people that are poor and miserable. The fact still remains that 1 million freezes can never stop people from paying Tithe. Tithe is sacred, it is God's money, it is not pastors money. When I pay my tithe, I do it in honour, respect and fear of God. See I was never a tithe payer before, I may give to people but I never took tithe serious, those period I made quite some substantial money, lost a lot millions in investments that went down the drain. Then it later dawned on me that I never Honoured God with my finances. Infact now if I make money, I don't even touch it till I have removed the Lords tithe, and pay it to my local church where I go and feed God's word every Sunday. I still take care of the needy, poor, even my relatives. I am setting up a foundation that will focus on scholarships for the children of the poor(many poor kids do not have acess to quality education) I see that needs. doing projects like tap water for poor communities. I am involved in the prisons, infact I go to the prisons once every month, and one thing I discovered from going to the prisons is that all these big Churches you people insult are doing great works there. And I mean very great works that requires huge capital. Anyday you visit our prisons and see the kind of suffering there, many there falsely accused, sickly, no food. It is still these churches that send lawyers, doctors, medicines, food supply, educationists there. And you think that God in heaven doesn't see all these good works they are doing. And still all these things doent stop me from paying my tithe because it is the Lords money, it belongs to God. |
Very perverted generation I wonder by the time most of this generation reach to their forties what they will say. Because all these lifestyles will come back to hunt them. Use your youthfulness to do something meaningful, valueble and productive with your life. But many won't hear. They think they will be young forever. Youth is vanity, one day all those pointed boob.s and backside will sag. Just wait till you get older and you will reap all the wild oats sown |
majekdom2:You got it spot on. A guy whom his life has not bettered, and coming here to talk and people listen to him. The people that complain about tithing and giving are poor. There finances are in a mess. Do the rich complain? They are always giving in one way or another |
Pidgin2: una Don catch them. |
Student125:That is what I am telling you my friend see this sinful world economic system is toiling and toiling, sweating and sweating. Can bearly get you a decent life. But God's economic system supersede this our world's. Tithing and giving unlocks it. See God the creator of universe is a giver. He gives everything, life, love, good economy, good wife, good children, good health, it is not just money. But you must learnt to walk with God. Walking with God is for those that have made up their mind. It is not for unserious people. Let me tell you, the greatest thing , any being can seek after with his whole heart is God. And when you find God, every other good things of this life is found in God. But humans instead of seeking and pursuing after God, will be pursuing after mundane things. So my friend get to know God, if you know God and discover God. You will see the difference. And in my economic life I started from the 10000 and then I have grown financially |
Then another principle I have learnt. Anybody that just trusts in his power to make money or just his human effort, without involving God. You will always barely have enough, you will always toil. But when you learn to trust God and not trust in just your human effort, you will be shocked at how you will meet your targets effortlessly. Tithing and giving is the simplest way you trust God. I am talking from experience. There are some major projects I am currently undertaking, but because I trust God, the cost of the project is not moving me at all, and God has been very faithful, making way for me in very mysterious ways, even in minute detail. That is why I laugh at people that think that trust in just there human effort, you will always nearly have enough, always worrying, breaking your head. But when you trust God, no worries, you are calm in your soul even when you are faced with the most difficult, tough situations, you have peace, in the midst of the storm. And guess what happens in the end everything just works out fine, you solve the issue totally without any hassles. So chose your own path, but as for me I have chosen that path of trusting and walking with God in my finances, and guess what giving, paying of tithe, helping the poor and the needy is a very tangible part of that walk. |
Student125:Well I pay my tithe and I still take care of the needy. Going through the bible, giving our substance is part of my act of Worship to God. And giving brings blessings, that is the way God has set the law even in nature. And giving, including tithing is the surest way to test your heart, whether material things are a god to you. And giving involves giving to your church, the poor, the needy, your relations in need. God loves a cheerful giver |
dane15:Don't mind them, they don't pay tithe, and I pay tithe and I get the benefits. Tithe is not by force, it is an act of faith. |
Lies lies lies.....i was in church this morning, people never walked out, it was at the end of the message because of parking space. And his preaching was very insightful. One of the major thing I got from the message is that what tithe does is that it protects you from the curse that God placed on the ground on Adam in Genesis 3 V 17. And for me personally, paying my tithe, I don't toil, or sweat to make money. It comes with ease, and it protect devourer from you. And he said tithing is for matured people in Christ, not for babes in Christ. That when you are matured you don't need anybody to tell you to tithe. That tithe is an act of faith, not compulsion or forcing people |
pushy8:no you are the one saying the truth. When I know quite a number of people that earns more than 3million per month here in naija. Like I said, it depends on what you can see. And it is not shady money oo, I mean clean money. |
spartacus11:Don't mind those guys most of them are myopic, they can't see far. And most of the time, this myopic life is because of the kind of people they hang around. People that can see far. When I began hanging with some circles, my eyes opened and I was like what, and level has so much improved, presently working on a very legit project that will be raking in plenty millions, with prospect of diversification and going into International Markets Starting from South Africa, Dubai, Singapore, Asia Pacific. The world we live in now is presently a global village, the entire global markets is there for the taking, but the question is what do they see? And I will do that right from here in Naija. The question again is what can you see? |
Op you talk true. On Friday I was with a friend who went to summer in US with her daughter. She went to 4 locations while there New York, Atlanta and two more other cities. Her own account was that plenty Nigerians she met there were wretched. She said she sustained some of her close relations, that as she dey spend dollars na so they were shaking. They have no life, working for days without rest. She said America na just mouth people dey make, that naija better pass there well. Paying over 3kdollars for house rent. She told me anybody earning 60k for naija here better pass most of those guys. My Sister went to deliver there some years ago, she made the same statement that there is nothing special about America. My aunt a Vet Doctor/Nurse she staid in her house na so she was borrowing money from her. If they see stack of $100 bills note na so there body go dey shake. The truth is that there is money here in naija, but people because of myopic mindset, cannot see. Even ordinary women selling stuffs like pepper in market has a lot of cash reserve yes I can tell you that. Many people feel that life outside is better, but travel abroad and see 100s of people wallowing in misery who left the good thing they were doing here all in pusruit of a better life. Nigerians should stop crying about this and that and look much closer and see that there is serious bread in this country. |
Blackfyre:My brother don't mind them one bit. Sex to me and also to God is a very wonderful gift from God, for two people that are in covenant relationship of marriage. Simple. I value my body, and personally believe that the only person I will share this special gift is my Wife. Simple. There has been so much abuse of sex, and you ask why many marriages are breaking up. People will sleep with multiple sexual partners and then when He or She gets married, will expect fidelity and Faithfulness. How can that be? If you want fidelity and Faithfulness in marriage, then develop it when you are single, but when you go sleeping around as a single and expect when you get married to get a faithful partner. Mbanu, fafafa fowl. The only thing you will get is misery, unfaithfulness and heart break. Many of you should seek and search out married couples that have been faithful to each other, go and see the kind of peace in those homes. Because they are true and faithful to their vow. That is marriage made in heaven. And there are many couples like that. |
This why it is important to run your company in the most ethical manner. The truth is that 99.9% of major businesses we see in Nigeria are run with most unethical manner, favouritism, connections, bribery and other bad stuffs. So once they go on the wrong side of the ruling class, there cases will be opened. The antidote is from the very first start run your company, ethically, and do the right thing. You may not amass the kind of money these other ones do, but with time you will get very better and outlast all the other ones. |
somehow:My friend you have no knowledge. Go and learn. You are calling me typical Nigerian but you are just beating round the bush. I was just conversing with a novice in the scripture. Go and learn and study and then come back. You have no basic understanding. Simple and I don't think I have anything to discuss with you go and read all my posts maybe you can learn. |
somehow:You are the Pharisee my friend. And I don't mince any word about it. Check your own life Mr holier than thou. Calling them Pharisee. I put it to you that you are the Pharisee. Imagine asking me what will Jesus do? Equating me with Christ. That is what I have been saying, holier than thou, mere mortal like you. Speaking out is judgemental already. What stops you from praying about the situation. Like God doesn't see what is happening. Is there anything hid from God. When God wanted to take Isreal to the promised land and told Abraham about it, what did God say: that the iniquity of the Amorites than possessed the Land, there cup has not yet filled up. If a pastor is messing up God will judge him when the time has come for that. It is left for God, not you a mere mortal. Can you change anything? There are Pastors that have gone to jail in US and other places, when there Cup was full. And freeze has to better watch it Because He has big issues in his own life, and as he is being judgemental God will open his own case file and remember his own issues too. |
somehow:OK let me give you some lecture: Government Authority: Romans 13 from verse 1 to 7, it also highlighted on paying of taxes etc. 13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. 6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. For Husband in the home: Ephesians 5 vs 22 and 23 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Then for spiritual leaders: 1 Chronicles 16 vs 22 Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm" is a serious waring GOD gave concering his anointed. Those who did it in the scriptures : 1. Numbers 12, miriam and Aaron criticised moses for marrying against God's commandment of not marrying a heathen, they were right, Moses married an Ethiopian Woman. 2. Korah and His people against Moses:Numbers 16 3. Absalom rebels against David 2 Chronicles 15, Shimei curses David 2 Chronicles 16 vs 5 to 14 5 David was near the town of Bahurim when a man came out and started cursing him. The man was Shimei the son of Gera, and he was one of Saul’s distant relatives. 6 He threw stones at David, at his soldiers, and at everyone else, including the bodyguards who walked on each side of David. 7 Shimei was yelling at David, “Get out of here, you murderer! You good-for-nothing, 8 the Lord is paying you back for killing so many in Saul’s family. You stole his kingdom, but now the Lord has given it to your son Absalom. You’re a murderer, and that’s why you’re in such big trouble!” 9 Abishai said, “Your Majesty, this man is as useless as a dead dog! He shouldn’t be allowed to curse you. Let me go over and chop off his head.” 10 David replied, “What will I ever do with you and your brother Joab? If Shimei is cursing me because the Lord has told him to, then who are you to tell him to stop?” 11 Then David said to Abishai and all his soldiers: My own son is trying to kill me! Why shouldn’t this man from the tribe of Benjamin want me dead even more? Let him curse all he wants. Maybe the Lord did tell him to curse me. 12 But if the Lord hears these curses and sees the trouble I’m in, maybe he will have pity on me instead. 13 David and the others went on down the road. Shimei went along the hillside by the road, cursing and throwing rocks and dirt at them. 14 When David and those with him came to the Jordan River, they were tired out. But after they rested, they[c] felt much better. So what happened to two of them: Absaloms judgement 2 Chronicles 18 vs 9 to 14 Shimei 1 kings 2. Finally many people because of ignorance bring perdition to themselves. God is not a man, God doesn't Judge or Look as man. God's ways are far much higher than mens ways. That is why Men must fear God. Even the Pastors, Presidents or rulers and husbands that goes against God's ways and misuses the Authority He gave to them, God also Judges them. Because God is merciful and compassionate, He gives the abuser long rope to repent and change, when they don't His Judgement then comes. We humans are not like God, there has been times when I have seen faults, issues, serious offenses from higher authorities or even people under me, and I easily gets irritated and frustrated I expect God to do something but guess what God shows me my own faults I did, and how he was patient with me till I corrected myself. That is when I began to learn one of God's nature which is patience. To be patient with people, because as God is working in my Life, patient with me, correcting me, so He is working In other people's Lives. But the Judgemental hypocrites, feeling they are holier than thou, while they are even worse off, with so many undressed issues in their lives will start judging others. Jesus. Told us do not Judge, that you should first remove Beam or Log from your own eyes before you remove the speck from your brothers eyes. They will easily see the speck in their brothers eyes but can never look at the Log in their own eyes. |
Jesusgirl92:My dear better tell them, they don't know. The shocking thing with the Numbers 12 story was that Miriam and Aaron were right because God told the Isrealites not to marry the heathens and Moses married an Ethiopian woman. So Moses was wrong oo, but still they were Judged by God. What people don't understand is that God honours authority be it spiritual authority(your pastors), Government authority(your president), or home authority (the husband in the home). That is why you must respect these authorities. That is why I may not like our president Muhamadu Buhari, but I can never speak evil . Curse him, because He represents God's Authority over Nigeria till 2019, when another takes his place or not. |
CioAngels:You really think so? I know that church well, I can tell you the calibre of rich individuals that worship in that church. There is one man I know there, he started with Pastor Paul right from the beginning of the church. The man was very poor twenty years ago, today that man has private jet, a global business mogul. Pastor Paul is a men builder, many people that have been with him were nothing to write home about, but today they are leaders on top of there industry. What some of you don't understand is that there is huge blessings tied with paying of Tithe and offerings, yes there are. If you are not a giver you will not amount to much. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, global Billionaires have pledged to give away almost all their wealth. The Bible made us to know that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Whenever there is crisis in the world, the rich countries pledges millions of dollars in relief, US, UK, Japan, Qatar etc, they all give and guess what, these are th countries that are still prospering immensely. So carry on with your poverty mentality. |
Dalby:Don't mind them, this is the kind of man they will listen to. He had no respect for the institution of marriage and then lured a woman out of her husbands house, and this is the kind of man you want me to listen to. Church aside touching a married woman is a serious abomination according to our African tradition. And this kind of absolute morally eroded man, you want me to listen to. He even had the courage to quote the Holy Bible. Arrant Nonsense |
Th dude should shut it Pastor Paul never called out his name. I was there live in service last Sunday. Pastor Paul just talked on what funke adejumo said. |
The problem is that many people are emotional wrecks. Many individual do not have control of their emotions, man and woman inclusive. I believe couples that have been years in marriage should have learnt each other and known how to relate well. |
Story. All these one na emotional time wasting. I personally don't subscribe to all those. It is too emotional wasting of time, over a woman that will leave you at the slightest provocation. I think guys should be very careful here, don't let anybody blackmail you. Anyway this one na teenage love. |
Jagaban got it spot on. This his proposition is a very sure way for Nigeria to attain greatness. Say whatever you have to say about this man, what he has been able to achieve in Lagos (the only thing working in Nigeria) speaks for him. A great man of vision. That is why I have the greatest regard for him. |
moninuola65:And who told you I am championing PDPs course. That is the problem with you guys. Look at the way this nation has been, look at the kind of hunger in the land, we keep going round in circles. Things can't continue like this. And don't come to start blaming the previous administration, because excuse is what the ineffective always give. Do your best with whatever resources at your disposal, no matter how meagre or scarce your resources Nigerians are not blind, they will appreciate it, your genuine effort not coming to be brandishing propaganda. Also this present NNPC issue is a very terrible debacle, that you are allowed to only approve contracts not exceeding 20million dollars only for you now to flaunt the procedure and then approve contract worth 25billion dollars, impunity of the highest order. Let us remove all theses sentiments please and start making this people become accountable to us. How old are this people, there are many generations including mine that will bear the brunt after this people have excited. That is the result. |
Story for the gods. 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011 elections, pls kindly educate me what was the voting pattern? Mind you prior elections most Igbos don't vote, they are non interested, likewise most Christians don't vote, but wait for 2019, everybody's eyes done open,you will see what will happen. We will know which people have the highest population in this country. In 2019 |
