What changed? 😲


Nna nwanne ... I can't convince you or tell you anything you don't know already.


I believe it is God's instruction

I believe it is right to obey God

I believe Tithing is like Tax too, that is what the Kingdom of God runs on.

I believe as a faithful member of the kingdom, I should support the work of the kingdom


Most importantly, I tithe because I love God and His servants and His work.

I no get power to show you scriptures.


I speak for myself alone.

Ok now u are sounding sensible.
Second question.where did your god say u should give him monetary tithe?
You believe ?where did u get that believe from?
You believe tithing is like a tax...do they run a theocracy in Nigeria or UK?ok,it's in kingdom?lol
You tithe because you love God?in the scriptures,is there any where that connots that to show your love for God,you should tithe?

You believe it's God instruction?who told you that?

See ehn,these questions nobody can ask from where you are coming from but as an adult,you should use your God given head to ask and answer these questions and not just..I believe..where u born with the believe?wasn't it implanted in you by people that were obviously less informed?

You are arguing with wanna-be charlatan and you expect him to answer those questions?

Obviously he can't because there is no biblical reference to back up monthly tithe payment.

I will say it again, you are a very stingy man. I am sure you have poor neighbours in the village or even around you here. How many have you consistently been catering for..

Only stingy people cringe when giving to God or Church is mentioned.


Take ya money and go , we no need am.

We like the ignorance.



If you like, allow this hypocrite deceive you.


grin grin grin grin

Free will giving to the work of God or to the needy is biblical. You do that as your spirit leads you and you do that without making a public show of it.

Tithes and offering is a scam used by fraudulent Christian religious leaders to enrich themselves.

If your spirit touches you to give to a pastor or a church member do it without expecting anything in return.

God instructed the Israelites to give a tithe of their agricultural produce (exclusively livestock and grain) to the Levites. The Levites were the physical descendants of Levi, who had no inheritance in the land of Israel.

it was intended to provide sustenance for the Levites who were responsible for the work in the temple and had no inheritance in the land of Israel as stipulated by the law (Numbers 18:21-32).
Secondly, the tithes were also meant to be a source of nourishment for the poor (Deuteronomy 14:27-29), which was collected every three years (NOT MONTHLY).

Hello good people,

Trust weekend is going well.
I just did my tax return and my accountant was able to get me 3600k tax refund from the last tax year. I worked just 4 month as self employed within this tax year and I'm very wowed.

My people in construction, na like this he dey be?
I wasn't even expecting this much.


I'm not self-employed yet, but this year HMRC refunded £3,000 to me noting that I over paid tax!

The best bet at accomplishing major financial breakthrough and comfort is by being self-employed. On the long run, the 9-5 salaried rat race ain't sustainable and keeps putting me off each time I reflect upon it.

Guys

I'm in a dilemma regarding my tuition and will need your advice please.

I'm in the last semester of my master's and have about £2500 outstanding. The problem is I've been changing naira to pounds to pay to this stage since Form A became unreliable. I'm left with the hope of 2m which is just around £1400 at the current black market rate.

I've told the school that I'm working on it but they won't stop sending reminders. With the look of things I can't pay up until I finish and resume full time employment. I once sent them an email explaining the situation of things how the sudden FX hike has almost tripled the fee from the anticipated amount.

I don't know if anyone else is having or has had the same experience. How are you going about it please? I'll appreciate any advice I can get as the frequent emails and threat of potential withdrawal from the school has started affecting my wellbeing. I don't like being in debt. It makes me worry and lose concentration. Thanks

If its care or warehouse u apply to,u can't make those figures.i was with someone months ago that said black man won't be given permanent role etc ..if u have those kind of people as friends,cut them off.
Most of us that came from Nigeria had careers in IT,Banking,Project MGT,etc
Don't rely on what they call UK experience.
Just certify up if u did not and apply to what fits your profile.if u get rejection,e nor ko pain u say u get rejection from cleaning job..my 2 cents.

Would be better to pay what you have and then call them up to explain the situation


£1400 leaves you with some small balance and that's easier to explain to them and buy time with

What were you doing in Nigeria before heading to the UK? Therein lies the answers wink

If you have transferable skills, you won't have issues. Most of the people who got good jobs I know used to work at Andela, Microsoft etc so it's just a continuation of what they used to do in Nigeria but with better pay

It is not surprising that a mod is flagrantly violating one of the rules (1) of this platform. You exemplify Nigeria lawmakers who are at the same time law breakers. I'm certain you would hide this post if it was done by someone else and probably ban them too.
That said, saying tithing, a practice held in high esteem by Christians, is a scam online is highly insulting. In fact, this is cyber bullying and I'm not sure if this is what this platform is turning into.
It may be insulting but what if it's the truth?
A lot of people that preach it do it either out of ignorance or to scam people. That's why you hardly hear them teach the unfavourable passages about tithing. They also do not tell you that if you obey the law of tithing, you must obey all the other laws or you are cursed (No be me talk am, na bible).
People should study the bible and find out the following:
What is tithe?
Who should pay it?
Who should it be paid to?
How should it be paid?
When should it be paid?
If you start with these questions and sincerely answer them, people will be better informed.
Another potential scam that is creeping into chritianity is "first fruit". I once led a bible study where this was the topic and I could not teach it because the references given in the manual did not in anyway support it and they "twisted" it to fit the narrative. Years later, I attended an oyinbo church and the preacher tocuhed on first fruit and how it was done and my eyes opened. I asked him after the service about paying first fruit and his question to me was "Is it an African thing?" I was the second African to ask him about that. Since then I have not paid it.
