I don’t know why this got me laughing really hard.

Experienced people,

What is the kind of job I can find as a 20 hours per week student or how can I find a job in my area. I am staying in Preston, and schooling in Manchester.

I heard warehouse jobs are stressful, and I don't like care jobs, but I like security. I will appreciate someone who can give me tips and advice on what to do

since you are interested in the security, I think you should then consider SIA. I heard you can get the badge in 2 weeks or less.

The CHURCH is the body of Christ and there is no guarantee that we won't be hurt or meet dubious people of very funny characters.


If your focus is on MAN , you will always be disappointed.


As long as we live on this earth, we will always meet imperfect people and experience imperfect situations, but this doesn't make God's command any less binding.

Nobody is talking about God. The church is run by humans. And these days, a lot of dubious, fraudulent and wicked acts is happening in the world, the church not excluded.

I’ll say it again, and in the first context, I won’t advice anyone coming to the uk to seek help from the church or any religious body.

rinzylee:
Ok I see your points which are very very valid.


Now let me try to do some explaining and I stand to be corrected and would appreciate any contribution too.


To start with, TITHING precedes Jesus Christ. It was even practised before Abraham came. So it is not a new testament or modern age fabrication. Infact Jesus made a very emphatic statement in Mathew 23:23 NLT translation "“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.

As much as it is a command by God, I will also say that He will not kill Mr A or Mrs B if they default , but there are conditions He has put to the obedience of that COMMAND. Infact, every blessing or promise in scripture has a condition to experience it. Even SALVATION which is FREE is based on the condition of REPENTANCE and BELIEVING in the finished works of CHRIST.

I agree that there are a lot of people who are not true men of God or who are basically interested in material possessions and have made a nonsense of the prosperity message (which is part of the gospel), but we must also not throw away the baby with the bath water.

Whether you will go to HELL for not paying TITHES, I can not guarantee, but what I can say is, if you have chosen to be a Christian, then trust God for GRACE to practise all its essence.

You know when I said that Christianity isn't a RELIGION, my brother misunderstood me .... Let me explain ( and I am sorry if I sounded rude dear brother)... We are supposed to be in a LOVING relationship with God and not a forced fearful union. Christianity is a walk , a fellowship and deep communion with God. If you serve God from the perspective of LOVE and TRUST, then you will also lovingly give without coercion or fear of being punished.

When we give, we give because we want this good news that changed our lives to spread to the ends of the earth. Infact, some of us give more than 10%. You can't love without giving innit? Same way, TITHES and OFFERINGS are expressions of our love to God to support His servants and the work committed to their TRUST.


If you take your focus off Man, and turn that attention on JESUS, you would not need any man to force you to give. Hebrews records that it is even Jesus who collects these TITHES represented by priests on earth.

Hebrews 7:8 Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives. "


Trust me, there are people who are supporting the spread of the gospel with billions which is far more than the value of their TITHES.

If you have been involved in mission work, you would know that funding the gospel is BIG MONEY. A true Christian should not withhold his givings. Let him give as the Lord has prospered him. And one such way is to be a committed TITHER. If the church he pays it to abuses or mismanages it, it is left for God to deal with the erring priests.

One thing I know is that, every man will account to God some day.



Finally, on the issue of whether it was money or not they were asked to tithe, it is simple. They didn't have the equivalents of our currencies today, the priests actually lived off these items they brought to the temple because God asked them not to work or get involved in any other business, but to stay day and night taking care of the temple and all. Today, we have ability to have these goods converted into cash, our services are converted to monetary forms, so it is also reasonable to pay TITHE in monetary form. If you insist on bringing crops and animals as your tithe, then no wahala, it will be sold and converted to money.


There's a lot to say on this TITHING matter but space fails me.



I greet you sir!!!

You go explain Taya 😁

No evidence.

Jesus says in the last days, many will rise in my name MT 25:5…… My point remains that church or mosque is the last place I’d advice anyone coming to this uk or anywhere sef to seek help.

If I put in the work in studying and acting on the written word, I don’t need to start slaving and daddying or mummying crooks and thieves that pose in the name of Jesus.

When I have time, I’ll tell you several hands on experiences.

Btw, I’m even referring to Nigeria churches and pastors who now focus on materialism and 10keys to success or financial freedom, instead of the true Gospel of Jesus.

I went to church not because I am looking for any miracle money or whatever ever it is , the pastors and clergies are feeding on(yes I need his help and I know it is in his world, which is available to all)but because I reverence him and thank him for all he does and is to me.

Those people wey make person buy pot 4200 for here. Go find out their role and position for church

rinzylee:
The matter tie wrapper.


People forget to understand that Church is not a building and people are at different stages of growth and walk with God. They generalize 1 experience and tag the church.

Same people will not also remember to announce the goodwill they have experienced from "church people".


As cowardly as this ideology is, they lack the nerves to point a finger at our cousins who won't hesitate to sever their heads from their necks at the slightest provocation.

Person wey dey call his fellow believers or church members wicked people hasn't met Christ. He is just a blind religious fellow who thinks he is better than everyone else.

1 bad egg doesn't mean the whole crate is bad.


Religion is different from Christianity.

A deeper relationship and walk with God is the main thing o.

That’s all

So when you fill forms, what do you put in “religion”

This is one line I see to know a naive sheep that doesn’t care to see or also know what/where the shepherd gets his directions from.

koonbey:


Honestly don't understand how someone will say he is a Christian, wake up in the morning on Sunday, go to church and declare that he has arrived in a gathering of wicked people.

It's either something is wrong with the church (which would raise the question of why you are there) or something is wrong with the person. Or both sha.

Something is wrong with me, something is wrong with the church, something is wrong with the people overseeing the “church” and something is also wrong with you 😁. There’s always something wrong with everybody. No man is totally ok 😔

rinzylee:
I assume you also considered yourself as 1 equally wicked person?


Make una dey calm down with this hate for Church.


☺

hate for church ke. Not at all

ehen na. I no exclude myself

koonbey:
All very unfortunate but all very unrelated to the church in question or churches generally.

Or if the man had been a 'well respected' man in a university and had given you an academic book instead of a Bible would you be citing him as an example of how you were victimised by a university?

Crooks and wicked people na full there. Whatever Dey do is a bait. It’s not with free mind. They hope to benefit from you in the long run. They only care about themselve and what the community will benefit from you

Not all, but most times.

I was in church today, and I said “I don come the gathering of wicked people”.

It was made as joke to my wife, but it is, what it is.

justwise:
I was a victim of this in my first few months in this country, the default advise given to new immigrants is to find a Nigeria church so as to get help with job, accommodation etc

I get to know a Nigerian through a family friend here when i was looking for accommodation, He gave a room in a house he was subletting, gave me a bible, helped me find a 'job' with Royal Mail,(i worked for a day and never went back) took me to their church where he is very very respected and almost everyone knows him.

I was settled with him and keep going to that church even without him. when i moved in there he told me that the rent is bills inclusive(£50 a wk) which i was happy with.

just 3wks in the accommodation i received a bill of £200, i called to ask him and he said i should just pay it.

The job he helped me with turns out to be an arrangement with the agency whereby he will be getting £1 hourly from my pay and i was let into the warehouse through the backdoor, no training, no orientation given. After the day shift he wanted me to go back for night shift but i refused and he was pissed.

We had a physical fight because of the bill and he asked me to move out immediately that night after i paid for only 3wks i lived there.

That winter night i went to woolworths (now closed) to buy a bag to pack my stuff and the next day I was on the street looking for an accommodation, missed lecture that day, at the end i found nothing, i came back locked myself inside and he tried to break the door down to through me out.

It was a Zimbabweans i met while looking for a house the previous day that helped me to find a place and i finally moved out.

This is just the summary of the event as the fight lasted for 12days before i moved out.

I know what I say, when I say I won’t advice anyone to seek help from church or mosque. Except one is being lazy and just wants to be spoon fed, one can actually face the pain in the first few months and get going independently in this place. Well, that’s in my own opinion.

That’s the reason I rhetorically asked him Church or Mosque?

Btw, I go church today sha.

koonbey:
Because those are some of the best communities you can find of people of similar backgrounds who are willing to help and likely have established procedures for supporting newcomers as they settle in.

Obviously for someone who is of another religion their applicable communities will suffice, and for someone of no religion, they don’t have to, but it has been my experience and that of all my friends of different faiths that religious communities offer the best opportunity to find your grounding and get information and support, especially in the early days. Simple things like someone to provide driving guidance, information on where to get things, or help with viewings, that one might find difficult as a newcomer no matter how highly paid simply because you don’t have those friendly personal relationships with people around, church/mosque would always volunteer to assist based on being part of the family.

Those are the last places I’d even advice anyone to go to seek help or advice from. I’d even advise anyone to take the pain, get information as much as he needs from online communities as this , YouTube , uk gov,etc. There’s peace in owing no man any glory, and living free.

I wouldn’t advise anyone to seek help from church or mosque. Wrongest places to want to get help from ,in the long run

elengine:
If you are already residing in uk, you should by now be attending church or mosque for information. Otherwise browse rightmove and you will get what you want. If you do not have a particular place in mind among these areas, I will advise you choose Huddersfield or Halifax which is the center to anywhere but a bit far from York. 25 mind to Leeds, 15 mins to Bradford, 40 mins to Manchester etc

Church or mosque? Why?

yolkman20:
I believe my uncle's wife is a friend to the lady who supplies the pot, she works with a company who owns a franchise with salad master. So she brought the pot to her house when my wife was there and as standard, they have to use the pot to cook for you in your house to educate you on how it works and all of that. We moved it all to our apartment that same night.

We paid for our COS ni o, it wasn't even free.

On spot, you'll them set a DD for monthly payment. The pot itself if 2900 while the total payment after installment is 4200. I have been keeping mute just to avoid issues but it's getting choked.

You come house, see pot, carry am go your house, use am cook for 6 months before you realize say e no make sense.
