A job, whether nefarious or not, is still a job.

The good thing is even if one does not want to follow the official and legal UK visa and immigration policy, one can always go through the alternative routes available.

If you think a BHC is just doing a job in Nigeria then I laugh in Spanish.
We all report to God at the end of it ALL.
So I choose to trust God.

Remember the High Commissioner is just doing her job, which is essentially being a diplomat. She reports to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The UK visa and immigration policy is handled by the Home Office. Her statements cannot affect the visa policy.

Zoey1:
Good for those outside STEM.
And they will have no choice than to give International Students better treatment.
Someone actually put that to Catriona Laing, The New British High Commisioner and she said its noted, lets hope for changes.

Thanks. Point taken on visas.

A number of UK universities are in a state of financial uncertainty. Just wait until the UK government implements the proposed increase in tuition fees for STEM courses and reduction in fees for other courses.

Zoey1:
Bit by bit they will get back to 2years Post study visa if not more.
UK has lost quite a large percentage of International Students.
Most now face US, Australia, Germany and Canada.
And the UK Universities are no longer at ease about it.

International Student Visas

The UK immigration white paper (168 page document) published by the Home Office on 19 December 2018 outlines plans to extend the duration of stay for international students to up to six months (from the present four months) for those who complete a bachelor's or master's degree, and up to 12 months for students completing a PhD.

Note that the above plan is to take effect after Brexit.

Word on the street is that there might not even be a Brexit. Let's see how the vote in the Commons goes today.

Regarding workers for the NHS, it is good news for Nigerian doctors and nurses who want to work in the UK as there are no more caps on the number of work visas issued. Unfortunately that leaves Nigerians with less medical workers. But what can one do, after all the Minister of Health, a Professor of Medicine and former Vice Chancellor said his tailor is a medical doctor. He also said that not every doctor can become a surgeon and farming should be considered. So if we don't need our doctors, other countries will pay handsomely for them.

You should read the new skills-based immigration system (more than 160 pages) published on 19 December 2018. They are removing the annually cap in the number of work visas issued and scrapping the resident labor market test for employers wanting to sponsor skilled foreign workers. EU migrants will no longer receive preferential treatment to Britain's labor market and everyone (EU and non-EU) will be subject to the £30,000 minimum salary threshold.

Aphrodite007:
Woow! You’re joking

You know what’s funny? Sensible people voted for brexit because they wanted the government to treat all non-brits equally. So technically, for the NHS (which is predominantly non-brits) to bring in a Spanish doctor and his family, they would pay such an amount?

The NHS is crashing as it is, imagine if they had to pay such an amount for their eu workers? They didn’t plan the brexit well. Shey they should have reduced the cost of education so that their youths can go to uni to study the courses that they depend on other countries for?

Anyway, It’s either they bring that £18k down for all immigrants or the country will really enter recession.

You're welcome.

The UK must have amongst the highest (if not the highest) visa related fees in the World. For a large company to bring in a migrant on a Tier 2 visa with a partner and two children will be even more expensive now. For a five year Tier 2 visa for a large company to bring in the whole family of four from abroad it will cost the following:

Four Tier 2 Visa fees for up to five years. £4,880
Certificate of Sponsorship Fee. £199
Immigration Skills Charge for five years for main applicant. £5,000
Immigration Health Surcharge for five years for four family members. £8,000
Total cost for a family of four. £18,079

In reality in many cases this does not cover all the costs. Many employers will need to apply for a Tier 2 sponsor licence, will have to pay advertising costs and will pay additional fees for priority visa processing. The total cost in Government visa fee related expenses could easily be over £20,000 in this situation.

Why not get a position as a Graduate Assistant in a Federal University with your Bachelor's degree, then use the Master's admission to obtain study leave. If the Master's admission is from a foreign university, you can defer your admission for one year.

Don't resign your job.

It is written in 2 Peter 2:3:

King James Version
"And through covetousness shall they (false prophets/false teachers) with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."

New Living Translation
"In their greed they (false prophets/false teachers) will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed."

First Fruits is all part of what is called the Hebrew Roots Movement found in Christian church denominations today. It is one of the signs of the coming end times - a great apostasy (the “falling away” ) An apostasy is: a rebellion, an abandonment of the truth. The end times will include a wholesale rejection of God’s revelation. 2 Thessalonians 2:3.

The Hebrew Roots Movement is a very modern movement that insists that we must resurrect first-century Judaism (our Jewish Roots) and the milieu and lifestyle of first-century Jews and impose them on both Jewish and non-Jewish believers. This is not just an academic study to better understand Scripture and its setting but is rather a movement of restoration that claims that the church has moved off its Jewish foundation and must return to a more Jewish way of life to be authentic.

Controversial Oap Daddy freeze is at it again, He reveals on his page recently that First fruit is not an act of Faith that its a total fraud with some bible pages to backup his claim.

Do you agree with him ?

WRITING to Christians living in the notorious city of Corinth, the apostle Paul gave this warning in 1 Corinthians 10:20 - 21:

King James Version
But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

New International Version
No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.

Grupo:
There is nothing real about juju.

In fact, all instruments of religion including African juju, Christian prayers, Islamic prayers are all powerless. Same as the gods behind each of the practices.

alBHAGDADI:
We are barely days into the New Year and those against tithe/firstfruits have already started launching their attack on the doctrine. According to these people, the concept of firstfruits is not a doctrine for Christians because we are not under the law of Moses. What they fail to know is that even before the forefathers of Moses were born, God had been collecting first fruits from humans. This post will show that it is God himself that ordained the collection of firstfruits and it is not subject to any law.

The first person recorded to have given first fruit or firstling is Abel the son of Adam and Eve. He and his brother Cain were told to do so By God.

Genesis 4:4
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

You see, whenever we mention Abel as someone who gave first fruit way before the law of Moses, all those anti-tithers love to give excuses to rubbish such point. One of the excuses they give is that God didn't command or order him to bring any first fruit, which means he did it of his own free will. Before I show you that it is God that commanded Abel and Cain to make that sacrifice, I will first of all like to show you that these anti-tithers understand nothing about the Bible. They don't understand because they lack the spirit of God, that's why someone can deceive them easily against tithing.

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

John 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and
they are life.

They lack the spirit of God, that's why they don't understand the word of God which is spiritually discerned. Now, let me show you that God gave the command for Abel and Cain to offer sacrifice unto him. See what the Bible said below.

Hebrews 11:4
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Did you notice the words in bold above? The above verse says Abel offered sacrifice to God by faith. This means he believed in the word of God and proceeded to offer the sacrifice. This clearly shows that the word of God told him to do what he did, meaning he didn't do it if his own free will. See what the Bible says about faith and the word of God below.

Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

As seen above, you can't have faith without hearing the word of God. Now, if the Bible in Hebrews 11:4 says Abel had faith in God towards offering a sacrifice, then it means he heard the word of God telling him to offer the sacrifice. He heard the word of God and had faith in it which made him carry out the command.

It's now ridiculous for people who lack understanding of the Bible to sit somewhere and start saying God never commanded Abel to bring first fruits or firstlings. They read the Bible like it's a romance novel, that's why they never grab anything from the word which is spirit.

It is that same practice of Abel that Abraham followed, his grandson Jacob followed and also the children of Israel under the law of Moses. God is still the same yesterday, today and forever. He change not. If he collected first fruit from the people of old even way before the law of Moses, then what makes you think he has changed?

Malachi 3:6
For I am the LORD , I change not;

Yes, I understand that many are angry that today's pastors have abused this doctrine and have enriched themselves with it to the point of living in opulence and flying in jets. But that doesn't mean we should throw away the doctrine which is the word of God. Throwing it away because of them is like throwing away the baby with the bath water.

If you feel your church is one those who have abused this doctrine, then find another church which hasn't; they exist. Mind you, not all churches are really the house of God. As long as the message they preach is works based salvation and not saved by grace alone, then such is not the house of God. Such churches are an example of Cain and his offering. That is why most people who pay first fruits there are not really getting blessed. Let me show you why they are Cain.

Remember we established above that it was the word of God that made Cain and Abel make sacrifice unto God. But how come God rejected Cain's sacrifice but accepted Abel's?

Cain failed to follow instruction given by God's word. How do we know what this instruction is? We know this from Abel's sacrifice which the Bible says God had respect for. Abel made a blood sacrifice unto God, he sacrificed a lamb. Had it been Cain did the same thing, his sacrifice would have been accepted too. Rather, he offered fruits of the ground while Abel offered the blood of a lamb which represents the blood of Jesus Christ who is this Holy Lamb.

Cain's offering was based on his works. He thought if he offered an offering based on his sweat of tilling the soil and harvesting the produce, God will be more pleased by his effort. He failed to obey simple instruction of offering blood sacrifice, instead he relied on his WORKS. His sacrifice represents work based salvation, hence the reason why God rejected it.

Abel on the other hand followed the instructions God gave. He didnt rely on his works but relied on the blood of the lamb which is the same as relying on the blood of Jesus which was sacrificed on the cross. That is what God wants us to do today. But these dubious churches have changed the gospel and are now selling a work based salvation where people No longer rely on the sacrifice of Jesus but on their works of righteousness or their ability not to sin. They have turned their congregation into people who will present works of righteousness which the Bible calls filthy rags before God as their means of salvation.

Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing , and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;

They do not know that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. And it is not of our works lest any man should boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

So, if your church is telling you that you can lose your salvation and that salvation involves works, then that is a clear pointer that such a place is not the house of God. That is why the pastors of such churches are very wealthy because they do not believe in God and have fleeced the sheep to stupor. If you continue to give your money whether in offering, tithe or first fruit, just know that your money is not reaching God. It's the same as going to GTBank to send Money to me when I don't bank with them. The money won't get to me. You have to look for the right bank which I have an account with before I can receive the money.

To all those who go about telling people Not to pay tithe or give Money to church, be careful or else God will descend on you.

Hebrews 10:31
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

You know little about God's word yet you are going about persuading people to disobeying him. If you have decided not to pay to churches, so be it. But going about telling others to do the same is very dangerous.

Many will come to this thread to try to rubbish it by saying I'm a pastor trying to defend my cake. I'm not a pastor neither do I have a church. People who make such claims only do so to prove they are on the wrong. They attack the messenger while they neglect the message. That is being guilty.

frank41:
Don't mind him...His suggestions has no basis
If a lecturer in federal university earn 140k.How much does a graduate assistant earns?
Secondly do you know what it entails to get to residency?
Thirdly, most lecturers are into other biz that pays them well which a practicing medical doctor will work all thru the whole day.
Fourthly,it is all about passion...if you have the fund travel abroad and go for your M.sc &PHD and you won't regret it o.it is only in Nigerians that doctors are given preferences but same is not applicable in other countries.
