Joagbaje: Pay your tithe to God in your church and . Sow seed to the woman's life. period.

lomzy1: Great ppl of nairalad. I really need ur honest opinion on the issue of tithing.
My story.
Am not a regular tithe payer or a regular church goer. But av paid tithe several times.
Anytime am faced with a problem, or in great need of divine favour, uncertainties in business etc.. I usually run to God for help and answers. I'd start to attend church services, revivals n pray fervently @ home. Although am not too religious either but I strongly believe in God, through Jesus Christ.
Recently, I was experiencing difficulties in my relationship, finances, family... Everything was indeed turning upside down.
So I decided to isolate myself frm d world and turn to God. I needed some quiet time with God. There was no way I could do that in lagos, so I traveled to my hometown.. I was alone in d whole house with a very big compound.. Then I started with a 3 day fasting (6am - 6pm). After almost 10 days.. Things were not getting any better, but I was still hoping on God for mercies.
Then one day I decided to go to a mountain in my hometowen to pray.. I'v known d mountain before now, I've prayed there several times, ppl go to d mountain D first day I went to d mountain to pray, I noticed a woman sweeping d mountain (people usually go to d mountain to pray.. U would always meet people there praying). I noticed that this particular woman was mentally unstable.. I could hear her speak to herself while sweeping.. Everybody seemed to know her, almost everyone that came exchanged greetings with her and some gave her money while leaving d mountain. She was also well dressed.. I had never met her in any of my previous visits to d mountain years back.
I started going to d mountain day after day to pray and I was always meeting d woman there (she doesn't live on d mountain, infact she used to leave d mountain before. I left most time). But she's really unstable mentally, anyone could tell) she doesn't look it though, but she says funny things while speaking to hersef, but when she talks with others.. She makes sense, u can never teell she's got such problem. I also noticed everyone calls her "iya adura" (prayer mother).
Then on d 24th of dec (this year) precisely, I went to d mountain as usual to pray, I met d woman sweeping d mountain, it was about 5pm, she was getting ready to leave. There was another man also but the man eventually left the woman and I at d mountain.after sweeping she wanted to get her scarf that was close to where I sat.. Then I greeted her, she responded.. Her usual response to ppl when thEy greet her is "adura a gab" (ur prayers shall be answered). Then she turned to me after a while and told me to fast for 3 days..she said she saw a door that was opened unto me, a hand was blocking d door but d hand was cut off...d room was filled with good things, a lot of things were there but there was just one thing I needed that I don't have, also for me to put my trust in God all d time.. She told me not to ever put my trust in human beings cos they can fail but God never fails. She also told me no enter into a joint business with anybody cos I'd be disapoointed or duped.. This is so true abt me, d woman was spot on. When d woman was leaving d mountain, I gave her a token.. Actually I didn't have much on me at that particular time cos I only went to pray. D money I gave her twenty naira cos that was wat I could spare that moment. Wat I had left was fare to get home. D woman told me "ur prayers shall be answred" (as usual).and she told me I would give her better money next time we meet.
I fasted for 3 days (dry fasting) no food, no water, no fruit (from 25th - 27h). Few hours I broke d fast.
I got a phone call from a friend who is based in germany that he wanted to send. Tipper and a golf car and he wants me to sell them.
I got a call from a business partner in india, he was having problem getting funds from his bank for a business we hope to do frm feb - june 2013. D loan was approved on d 27th.
My relationship was also restored peacefully.
Someone I was owing money called me for a lucrative biz, (d money I owe him, its not much though, but a debt is a debt)
I received some unexpected monies into my acct (some supplies biz I did a long time ago). It was like a dream.
The book I wrote on "cashew nuts trading" pulled d highest sales in a single day on d 27th (yesterday)
All this happened in a single day.
I still received some great news today.

Back to my question
Who should I pay my tithe.. The woman or church?
I've heard sermons in church where d pastor said tithe belongs to God and it should be brougth to the church.. His place of worship.
On d other I think since d woamn takes care of d mountain where ppl also go to pray and worship.. Should I give her d tithe? Although I have it in mind to settle her some money seperately aside from d tithe. Even if I give her d tithe, I would still givr offering.

Pls advise o...
Pls give ur thought on this issue.. Am really confused

Thanks

uchkochi: MARINE SPIRITS...WHAT ARE THEY?HOW TO IDENTIFY THEM AND DEFEAT THEM.

When you hear marine, the first thing that comes to your mind is water or river. You are not wrong, marine spirits are water spirits or spirits that comes and dwells in the river. Beloved they are real, they execute their plans by possessing either a man or a woman. The marine kingdom is one of satan's department headed by a queen, popularly known as the queen of the coast. The earth is divided into the air, the land and the sea. When God made man in Genesis, He gave him dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28. God will never ask man to dominate his fellow man, so what God meant was that man will have dominion over the spirits in the sea(marine spirits), spirits in the air(witch craft spirits), and on land.

There are two types of marine spirits; we have the conscious mariners and the unconscious mariners. The conscious marine agents are those that know they are possessed, while the unconscious mariners don't know that they are possessed. Marine spirits possesses females more than males, they do so to oppress men and scatter homes, since the man is the head of the home. Their primary tool is sex. They are extremely fashion-crazy, they dress to attract on purpose, they walk to attract on purpose. This marine spirit pushes single ladies to date married men without any remorse. They take delight in breaking the hearts of their victims so as to render them emotionally unstable, once a person is unstable emotionally he is sure to make wrong decisions about other things. They neutralise the will-power of their victims through sex. They are very unstable in relationships, they cannot keep a relationship for too long, they pretend a lot and changes their voice to fit the mood they are in.

Falling in love with a lady possessed with this spirit is the worse thing that can happen to a man, because the moment he decides to end the relationship, she begins to behave well, the moment the man changes their minds, she starts tormenting the emotion of the man, constantly frustrating the man. Those who are possessed with the marine spirits without knowing can easily be delivered by getting close to the things of God and His word. Lesbianism, homosexuality and pornography are also marine initiations, they are also party freaks. This spirit push young, talented, beautiful girls into "runs". The truth is this with God all things are possible. Deliverance is possible only when the mariner is willing to be delivered. Once that person is willing, that person must go to a bible practicing church for the power of the queen of the coast to be broken. Then the person must be born again and take God's word seriously. Self deliverance is also possible with this knowledge, you can pick up the bible and ask Christ to come into your life. Once He enters, the rest is history. I break every trace and strong hold of marine spirits from your life in the name of Jesus. BB PIN - 2739F228.

mckayne: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways ,but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't share this with anyone....Who cares?-George Carlin

tomakint: Like I used to say that, out of the five secrets about death, only one was revealed to us; that one day you will surely die! The remaining four; nobody knows the time or date he or she will die, nobody knows the type of death that will kill him or her, nobody knows where (the place) he or she will die and nobody knows who is next to die!

Bottomline: Do good unto others and live your life as if it is the very last moment you got.

Babasessy: Nurse reveals the top 5 regrets people make on their deathbed


For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality.

I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.


4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness
