I just heard how a young white woman was fronted as a rider to forcefully lure an Uber driver in Abuja into a house with about 5 guys in the guise of helping to load some stuffs into his car, and how some three able-bodied guys held another at gun point to a secluded area of Maitama, refusing to take nothing from him but too turns to defile the poor driver at gun point.

Things dey happen my people, stay vigilant and safe please.

oldtruth:
Are you sure you are normal? So, the so called pastors are the only one to have access to the Bible? You are barred from reading the Bible? The Bible is made specially for the pastors? Who is this guy for Christ sake?

alBHAGDADI:
Your pastor works?

No wonder you lack the knowledge of the Bible. The time he's supposed to dedicate to studying so as to feed you the word of God, he's using it to hustle.

Yes, my pastor will hustle for his family, so tomorrow if he dies, they will have something to live on

Would you like me to open a thread on nairaland, so we can contribute for your pastor weekly?

Just look at how you're embarrassing yourself. Encouraging laziness in God's house

Tueh

Was the border ever open? Receive. Sense

Keep crying. Nigerian rice has come to stay, you hear?

alBHAGDADI:
I just showed you were Paul stated that the disciples can live of the gospel.

You also saw where Jesus was given money by the sheep. So what's your stupid point?

I'm not a pastor. I only defend the word of God.

You're defending your hungry pastor

The pastor in my zonal quarters works. He pays his tithes, offerings and any contribution for the propagation of the gospel. He takes care of his family also. And he makes enough time for his duties in church

He leads by example.Tell your pastor to learn from mine.

Stop being lazy and work. You won't die if you don't live off people's proceeds

SalamRushdie:
Protectionism had never helped any industry on Earth ...Protectionism is similar to saying you will not allow your son school with other brilliant students so just he can come first all the time . Protectionism breeds laziness and industrial lackadaisicality

mamatwiny:
The disciples had a purse that was managed by Judas. How did they get money in the purse? I believe ppl supported the gospel financially

alBHAGDADI:
Jesus and his disciples took money from the sheep following them. They lived of the gospel as Paul stated in Corinthians which you hate to admit. Read below to see how some women helped Jesus with their substance.

Luke 8:3
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

Mark 15:41
(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.


How are the above verses different from what Paul said Pastors are ordained to do? Jesus did it and he ordained his pastors to do the same as seen below.

1 Corinthians 9:13-14 (KJV)
13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

Why not read from verse 1, you lying coward?

Jesus was with his disciples, but they ministered unto HIM out of their substance. What part says they ministered to the twelve? The women were healed and showed appreciation to Jesus... Just Jesus

I know you're a pastor, who sleeps at home and wait for offerings on Sunday. Your judgement will be worse than that of Judas

Repent, work, and help the poor ones in your congregation

alBHAGDADI:
Are you a blind bat? I'm I the one encouraging what I said or it is Paul and Apostle of Jesus Christ that said so? Paul said pastors are to live of the gospel. You are here saying otherwise.

1 Corinthians 9:13-14 (KJV)
13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.


How did Aaron take care of his family? He did with what he got from what was offered in the temple. That's exactly how Peter and the Apostles were able to care for their family.

Mind you, there was a gathering called Church because the first time Peter preached, they were about a hundred. After he finished preaching, 3000 souls got added to the fold.

I think I have to stop entertaining your arrogant ignorance.

alBHAGDADI:
You are of the kind I spoke of - always rushing to slam pastors without having full knowledge of the Bible.

I showed you were Jesus was angry at Peter for going back to his profession of fishing, yet you ask this question about Peter? Peter was a Bishop of a Church and had every right to feed of the Church as stated by Paul who revealed that such was also the case in the temple.

1 Corinthians 9:13-14 (KJV)
13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

Just shut up and quit acting like you know. Who is encouraging laziness in the Church if not you? Your kind are the type that want to see the house of God crumble with no shepherd. You want the pastor to be somewhere else hustling while the sheep starve of the word of God.

God ordained his priests in the Old Testament to feed of the temple. Apostle Paul also confirmed that same thing applies today in the church. But you are here puffed up with your own understanding.

Now, to answer your question about Peter. Nowhere is it written that he engaged in any job after Jesus stopped him from his fishing activities. Or can you point out one job Peter did since then? No you can't. But it is written that Peter preached the gospel and pastored a church. So, clearly, Peter didn't do any job asides being a pastor, or a Fisher of men which Jesus called him to do.

It's funny that a whole you, who is against prosperity gospel, is encouraging someone to sleep and wake up at home, hoping people who earn less than $100 come and pay him to eat, in the name of "shepherd". You're pathetic

So, if Peter and the other disciples were not working, how were they taking care of their family? There was no gathering then, people were still worshipping in the temple so how were they feeding from the church? Or was Christ paying them salaries?

There are pastors, choir leaders, and so many workers in the church. It takes more than a pastor to get a church service ready. So who pays the others?

Every pastor should work, or have a source of income. If you want to preach about hardworking, you should be practicing it.

You don't have the spirit to understand. You never have, and you never will

ecclize:
U are right...
but what OP is suspecting is true...
and it is evident all over the world. There will always be the poor and the rich and that is why the bible encourage giving

it is even a cause for a rich man to turn a blind eye to the plight of the poor... it there in the bible but can't really recall the chapter

alBHAGDADI:
Nice

Today, many fools run their mouth at pastors and act as if they know the Bible in and out. Whereas, their rudeness is only inspired by an anti-church article they read online.

Imagine people saying pastors ought to go get a job and stop depending on Church money. They foolishly use Apostle Paul as an example, saying he made his income from tent making.

Was Paul a pastor? Did he pastor any Church? No, he didn't because he was an evangelist moving about preaching the gospel. Peter, James, John etc were pastors of churches. Can anyone show me where they worked? You can't find such.

Have you ever wondered why Peter was silent after Jesus saw him fishing after his resurrection in John 21? He knew he had messed up. When Peter the fisherman was called by Jesus, what did Jesus say? He said he was going make him a Fisher of men. Peter dropped his net and followed Jesus. So, Jesus was disappointed to see him return to fishing again. "Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?"

A pastor is to feed from the Church, a thing apostle Paul also approved. If a pastor gets a 9-5 job, he won't be able to have time to study the word of God which he will use to feed his flock. If the church has a serious programme coming up, he might miss it if his company decide to send him on an assignment to another city. Imagine his church is on the mainland and he works at Lekki, think of the traffic he would be facing before he gets to church for a midweek service.

Krakboi:
So how did the OP take the verse out of context when you just basically regurgitated all that was said in the earlier sentence? You are funny sha

tojahh:
They will actually give Uber/Bolt a run for their money because the O-Everything brand has built a solid market base here in the metropolis.
They came in with big capital so branding and awareness campaigns would be a piece of cake.. Watch how drivers will clinged to em. Me in particular.

Chuwaa:
Na God's grace person need to drive in this city, the little 2,500 I collect every morning this week going to Ikeja from the island has been canceled out. On Thursday night, a tyre flew from the opposite lane on 3MB, hit a BRT beside me, went back to the median and came at me. My front bumper is a write off. Almost 50k to buy a new bumper and fix the issues. Thank God I didn't climb the Tyre and it didn't hit the windscreen, nor damage the headlamp.

ornicus:
Check for the customer care line . you can always call after. Most majors make their attendants wear id cards. Just call customer care, I was at your km3 Orile station at pump and I was cheated.

It becomes an issue log that must be investigated. It is also official so it is not so easy to cover up. Pump tolerance is very very big business. If a pump is selling 21 litres for 20 litres, that means a station that sells a million litres a month is making close to 6m extra

Ghost1994:
Bros since then anytime I see filling station that wear blue uniform naso I Dey japa.

ornicus:
The two majors that try to enforce pump integrity are Oando and total. It is however an uphill battle as everyone is always finding new ways to tamper with pumps.

If you are at a station where there is a glaring issue nd you call customer care or make noise on social media, the pump adjustment will be shut down

Ghost1994:
My Oga’s in the house I’m back on road after long time of fixing my car.

Well I have allot to contribute about filling station issues, naso I enter either Mobil or oando filling station via Allen roundabout.

Fuel attendant:- oga come es bros come.
Me:- ok sell 4500.
FA:- foooooooooo 650 blinking.
Me:- why pressing the machine again now.
fA:- oga I thought you said 650.
Me:- 6kwa chai where did you hear that.
FA:- ok I’ll minus it.
Naso the bros sell 3850 con tell me say make I pay.
I laugh in Greek. I just check my change and gave him 3850 instead of 4500.

Nigga was like it’s 4500 na.

I told him to call manager for me. Naso Baba begin lament and saying nonsense. Las las he told me to carry my wahala commot for here.

God will continue to protect our families and guide us all. 650 isn't easy to get on taxify/Uber.

On Obafemi Awolowo?

Na Mobil na .....Very crooked souls

ornicus:
interesting . .

yomi would be so proud to see this
litre is a litre campaign is working
maybe i should share these links with him

Litre indeed

In some stations, the pump may be accurate, buy the attendant is the thief. Mobil as a whole have either one or both of the above

Like someone said months ago.... Any gas station that you don't see keke or danfos patronizing, then know they have issues

tojahh:
Enyo any day!
Petrocam another one!


Conoil? I rather buy black market
Mobil? E better make I beg lasma fuel.


Once I enter any fuel station and all the attendants begin call me to their pump... I will just do a complete turn and continue to next station.

I don't how Mobil just deteriorated so bad

donfortune48:
Me walking into any Petrocam, Mobil, Hayden, Northwest, Forte oil, non-franchised NNPC or TOTAL.

Which Mobil?

The one along Ozumba na yahoo ni mamalawo

Enyo is still my favorite anytime

donjazet:
Yes I did, but Neymar hasn't been accused of rape prior to that, so there wasn't enough reason to doubt his innocence.

Ronaldo's case on the other hand, can make one sufficiently doubt his innocence.

donjazet:
I believe we have covered something like this before?
Rape comes in various forms not just the violent form, some are psychologically molested before the physical penetration takes place.
This was an underaged 16 year old innocent being molested by a man in position of influence and affluence, of course it's logical she wouldn't understand what was going on then. She now comes out at an Adult age and calls him out on his past sins. Please show a little emphaty here.

pocohantas:
Guy do port abeg.

Make I be your homebased babe. The one that will be sending you pictures on WhatsApp and telling you "I wish you were here babe"...

While you wire me dollars.

Yahoo dey different types o.

Lol

No be small yahoo be that one.

But have you ever noticed how neat these white people are? A busy station is still this neat.
