On the flip side, one person’s Father’s side that doesn’t care is another person’s Mother’s side that cares. There is a puzzle here.

It seems like you are stress eating due to anxiety caused by your broke condition. Calm your mind and you should be alright before you discourage your helper by looking more well-fed than someone who needs help

They are not hard to trace, talking about those who overstayed. The vast majority of them crossed the border into Canada to seek asylum. They just used the US visa to gain entry into Canada.

What you may be talking about is either a spent bullet that found its way into your room, not one with damaging impact.
It must have dropped down, unless it was a ricochet or shot from upstairs a nearby building.

A stray bullet came in through your roof and narrowly missed your head while you were sleeping.
Nobody seems to have thought about this but the angle seems to be wrong to me. Was the shooter on top of your roof pointing his gun downwards or is your bed that tall?

Career / Re: "Boss' Wife Told Me To Send Their Maid Out. Boss To Sack Me If I Can't" - Man by DonJuan1(m): 1:04pm On Feb 26, 2018
@Op, you may feel that you’ve done the right thing but have you? Think about it, the maid is still going to leave that house. That is very clear.
You had the opportunity to be of help to the girl but you just used the situation as an excuse to leave that environment. Yet you claim self righteousness.
When you were asked to get rid of her, you could have helped her out in a humane manner using your own discretion. You could have been her angel.
Now the girl will still likely be given that brutal treatment you were avoiding.

Romance / Re: Lady Reveals Why A Guy Wooing Her Blocked Her On Facebook (Photos) by DonJuan1(m): 11:45pm On Feb 16, 2018
PrettyCrystal:
A young lady identified as Chioma Nelly Nwawere, has revealed why a guy blocked her on Facebook. According to the pretty lady from Imo state, the guy in a bid to woo her - bombarded her with different unwarranted questions. Even when she answered the questions, he continued with his "interrogation".

The lady also narrated how the guy asked her about her complexion and her gap teeth despite going through her pictures. That was she she told him to go for medical checkup.

This probably annoyed the guy who took out his anger by blocking her on Facebook.

Reminds me of Jamb Question by Simi. The guy was simply lost in love but she should have handled him with tact instead of bruising his ego. That’s how some ladies carelessly lose serious suitors IMO.
Car Talk / Re: Motorsport Raceway: The First And Only Car Race Track In Nigeria (Photos) by DonJuan1(m): 9:33am On Feb 15, 2018
autojosh:
Yes. Nigeria now has a car race track.

The MotorSport Raceway, Evbuobanosa (MRE) is Nigeria’s pioneer race track. The location offers automobile-race enthusiasts an opportunity to demonstrate their passion for competitive car racing. Sitting gallantly on 130 acres of land, the MRE is strategically located in the very serene vicinity of Evbuobanosa – a town just 20 minutes drive from Benin-city, along the Benin – Asaba Highway – this location grants easy access from Benin, Delta State, and many other parts of the country.

The car-race track caters not only for car racing but also for superbike and sundry racing competition.

MotorSport Raceway, Evbuobanosa (MRE) is a total package. The MRE boasts of a full-service Tyre Center, Fuel Station with self-service pumps, a state of the art clubhouse with observation deck, restaurant with available catering, beautiful swimming pool, day garages and gift shop help to fulfill the needs of all customers utilizing the facility.

The track itself can be run in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. A total of 11 bends make the 2.3 KM race track truly memorable.

Besides car-racing, other events are hosted at this venue. They include Stunt bike Show, Roller Skating, Superbike race, Bike Drag Race, Speed cycling, health and Fitness run, Pageant, etc.

MotorSport Raceway, Evbuobanosa (MRE) is a private sector initiative.

Now, isn’t this the sort of projects government should encourage?

@Op, I didn’t see the most important facility among the ones you listed above.
Is there any functional and well equipped hospital/ medical facility within easy reach? That’s what makes the difference IMO

Facts on Tithing
by Pastor Ken Lawson

1. The English word “tithe” as well as its Hebrew-Greek equivalents “ma`aser” and “apodekatoo” means a tenth.

2. Many Christian churches preach tithing as a means of supporting the work of the Lord today. There are many variations of this theme. Some pay the local church one tenth of their income after taxes and bills are paid; some pay before. Others demand tithing on unemployment, inheritance, gifts, tax refunds, social security and even gambling winnings. The tithing issue has caused a great deal of strife and division in our churches over the years.

3. The most well known passage on tithing comes from the Old Testament book of Malachi 3:7-10. This Scripture has given rise to the practice of “Storehouse Tithing.” Simply stated, the congregation is exhorted from the pulpit to channel all of their Christian giving through the local church (storehouse). If they wish to give to a Christian organization, radio or television broadcast, etc., it must go through their denominational machinery in order for the local church to get “credit.” Also the pastor and elders often must make the determination if the cause supported by the giver is “worthy.”

4. This use of the Malachi passage is a good example of Scripture being taken out of its historical and dispensational context. “This whole nation” in verse 9 is the backslidden nation of Israel, NOT the present day church (Malachi 1:1; 3:6). They were under the law of Moses as a system of conditional blessing. Believers today are not under the law but under grace (Romans 6:14). As such we have already been blessed by God with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3) and are under a system of unconditional blessing with grace on the throne (Romans 5:21).

5. This should put an end to the common charge that believers who don’t tithe are “robbing God” and will be “cursed with a curse.” The storehouse mentioned in verse 10 is not a local church but a storage bin or silo in the Jewish temple where the grain from the Hebrew’s tithes was stored (2 Chronicles 31:4-12).

6. Under the law only agricultural products were tithed. They included grain, fruit, and livestock. Only products produced within the boundaries of the land of Israel were to be tithed. Jews living in Gentile lands were exempt (Leviticus 27:30-34).

7. Others exempt from the tithing law included the hired hands, fishermen, miners, lumber workers, construction workers, soldiers, weavers, potters, manufacturers, merchants, government workers, and priests. In short, all who were not farmers were exempt.

8. A farmer with only 9 cattle did not tithe because the law specified the “tenth which passeth under the rod.” Likewise a farmer with 19 sheep paid only 1 sheep to the Lord’s tithe.

9. The Jewish farmers in the land could redeem (buy back) the tithes of their crops with a penalty of one fifth. In other words, if a farmer wishes to keep his tithe of grain worth $1,000, he could pay the cash equivalent of $1,200 (Leviticus 27:31).

10. Livestock could not be brought back nor could the farmer exchange a good animal for a bad one or vice versa. Any attempt to substitute any other animal other than the tenth which passed under the rod would be penalized by the farmer forfeiting both the tenth and its substitute (Leviticus 27:33).

11. God ordained the Levites to be the ones to whom the tithe was paid (Numbers 18:21). They were one of the 12 tribes of Israel to whom no inheritance was given in the land. The Lord Himself and the tithes of the children of Israel was their inheritance. It was used for the service of the tabernacle (later the temple) (Numbers 18:20-28).

12. It was unlawful for anyone outside of the tribe of Levi to receive the tithe, such as prophets, preachers, kings or evangelists.

13. The Levites paid one tenth of their tithes to the high priest. Not all Levites were priests but only the sons of Aaron. The priests did not tithe.

14. The Lord Jesus Christ did not ask for or receive a tithe for support of His ministry. Being of the tribe of Judah (not Levi) He could not without breaking the law (Hebrews 7:14; Revelation 5:5).

15. Neither Peter (not of the tribe of Levi) nor Paul (of the tribe of Benjamin) could receive tithes for the support of their ministries.

16. Even the Jews do not practice tithing today because there are no Levites, priests, or temple worship in Jerusalem. Jewish rabbis know biblical law well enough to know that tithing under the present circumstances is unlawful. According to them, when the temple is rebuilt in Jerusalem with a consecrated altar with priests and Levites officiating, all Jews living within the biblical tithing zones will tithe.

17. Some Christian ministries today continue to support tithing, using the argument that it predates Moses and the law. But this reasoning is not valid, for the Sabbath also predates the giving of the law (Exodus 16:23-29) and yet it is not binding on God’s people today (Romans 14:5,6; Galatians 4:9,10; Colossians 2:16,17).

18. Abraham gave tithes to Melchisedec, king of Salem, but this was the spoils of war, not the legalistic tithe of the land which Moses commanded. Also, God did not command the tithe, Abraham chose to give it of his own free will (Genesis 14:17-23; Hebrews 7:1-10).

19. The only other scriptural reference to tithing before Moses is Jacob. Again there is no command to tithe. In fact Jacob puts up numerous conditions to be met before he will pay the tithe to the Lord (Genesis 28:20-22).

20. The biblical references which address the tithing issues are: Genesis 14:20; 28:22; Leviticus 27:30-32; Numbers 18:20-28; Deuteronomy 12:6,11,17; 14:22,23,28; 26:12; 2 Chronicles 31:5,6,12; Amos 4:4; Malachi 3:8-10; Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42; 18:12; Hebrews 7:5-9.

21. Paul the apostle to the Gentiles for this present dispensation of Grace does not mention tithing but says a great deal about Christian giving. Romans 15:25,26; 1 Corinthians 9:7-14; 16:1-3; 2 Corinthians chapters 8 & 9; Galatians 6:6-10; Philippians 4:10-19; 1 Timothy 5:9-18.

22. WHO is to give to the Lord’s work? The Christian! He gives systematically, sacrificially, and joyfully. TO WHOM does he give? To Christ! FOR WHAT does he give? For the cause of Christ! NOT to a man or to a church, not for gain, but for the Gospel.

Notes:
According to Deuteronomy 14:22,23,28; 26:12; and Amos 4:4, the tithe was only given every three years
