martinskelly:I have wrong people intentionally or by mistake? I try my best never to offend people because I know that forgiveness can be difficult. If I offend (rerely), I apologize immediately, before you see me offend someone and I don't apologize, know that it's the person that offended me first and I want to person to feel the same pain the person made me feel. That's why people I am having issues with, till now can't tell me where I went wrong. Is it not when they tell you, then you will know where to amend? Even this matter presently, I have checked it that if not for the people who threw my belongings out and I was desperate and went to the church, the pastor won't have made the promise (to pay full rent including agreement and agent fees), assuming I didn't enter the church (although, that wasn't what I went there for). That was why I told him that I have more than half of the money, to reduce the amount he is supposed to give me as he promised. But him being the pastor just ignored me completely as if I am nothing, this is what we could have settled within ourselves. Even when I tell him what I am going through as a result of relying on his promise, he will say I should stop pointing accusing finger at him, he chose to ignore instead of taking responsibility for what he has done. |

See my candid advice to you is, forget whatever the pastor must have promised you and move on. This world is harsh, just believe in yourself, work hard, at no point in your life should you depend on man (maybe by probability), cast all your burdens unto God. Kindly take this word of God to heart; Jeremiah 17:5-9 5 Thus says the Lord: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. 6 For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. 7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. 9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?. Happy Sunday, stay blessed. |

One thing about me is that I hardly as for financial assistance (or anything) from people, begging is not part of my identity, even when people decide on their own to help me, most times I don't accept. It's because let it not be as if one is an enemy of herself, you pray to God and God answer you through someone and you say you won't accept, tomorrow you will say God doesn't answer prayers, that is why sometimes I accept. If I knew that his promise wasn't genuine, it was deceptive, I won't have accepted his promise/offer. |

bolabizzle:Since you LOVE what happened, may you experience the same thing (even worse) in the nearest future. There is absolutely no sen*e in what you have written. If it were for her younger sister to have peace, then she should have given me my money for peace to reign, not until I have reported to the police. Can you even stay with her younger sister? Except you are a hardened li*r like her, who gos*ips about people, and has a degree in eye service, etc if not you can't even stay with her. And also be ready to forgive her every time without confronting her, because if you confront her, she will tell you she can never adjust because of you, rather you will be the one to adapt to the way she behaves. Then you can live with her. Funny enough, what she is complaining that someone else is doing is the same thing she will be doing to you intentionally (this is what they call "lack of self-awareness" ) and expecting you to ALWAYS forgive her. Also be ready to always help her do one or two things (if not more) anytime she is around. Since they have thrown my belongings out, they are now paying the rent for the room and parlor. The landlady has told them she doesn't want any other person to stay there. |

bolabizzle:You think you have figured me out from one post? That’s cute. You’re not offering advice, you’re just projecting your bitte*n*ss and assuming you know my life. If you have got nothing better to do than throw shade without facts, maybe channel that energy into fixing your own m*ss. I’m not here for your unsolicited judgment, so keep your ‘no sorry’ and save it for someone who cares. |

bolabizzle:Good for you. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. And woe to the one from whom offenses come. Since you love them so much, you have already taken part in their reward - may you always meet people just like them EVERY SINGLE DAY of your life. |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by voiceunheard(op): 6:08pm On Feb 23 |
bolabizzle:May you always meet PEOPLE who will disappoint you and take you for granted. |

voiceunheard: voiceunheard:May God continue to bless that pastor. God gave him the wisdom to act the way he did. If you Noticed, the pastor said almost the same thing your father said when he sent you that text message. |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by voiceunheard(op): 6:24pm On Feb 23 |
bolabizzle:You think God will bless a pastor for covering up lies and manipulation? That’s not wisdom, that’s deception. Don’t twist God’s name to excuse wrongdoing. You’re defending the wrong side because that is where you belong. Concerning what the pastor said, do you know what the consequences will be later? Or do you want to be the one who will face the consequences for the pastor since you love what he did? |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by bolabizzle(m): 6:26pm On Feb 23 |
voiceunheard:Kindly read the text the pastor sent again. You will see that out of Mercy, he decided not to lay curses because he saw that another curse is fully playing out. May God continue to bless that man. |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by voiceunheard(op): 6:35pm On Feb 23 |
bolabizzle:You think the pastor's 'mercy' is some holy act? It's just him dodging accountability and covering up the truth. No need for curses, the facts are already exposing everything. Save your 'blessings' for someone who actually needs them, not for someone who is enabling wrongdoing. |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by bolabizzle(m): 6:39pm On Feb 23 |
voiceunheard:The pastor really wanted to help but God withheld his hands from acting. There are some people that because of what they did in the past e.g hurting their parents and siblings, even if you give them 1 billion dollars, nothing good will come out of it. The pastor eventually noticed that there is a curse playing out so he mercifully decided not to add more to it. God is wonderful. |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by voiceunheard(op): 7:11pm On Feb 23 |
bolabizzle:He really wanted to help when he doesn't have the capacity, made a promise he is not capable to fulfill. Eye service Lol, you think God’s holding the pastor back from helping? That’s just an excuse for doing nothing. And bringing up family drama to justify this mess is weak, manipulative, and just a deflection. The pastor’s ‘mercy’ isn’t mercy - it’s just him avoiding accountability. Don’t try to make it sound deep. What you are saying is we*k, it doesn't make se*se. It's who laugh last laughs best. |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by voiceunheard(op): 7:14pm On Feb 23 |
bolabizzle:People like you will do e*il (thinking it is se*se), and end up reaping ev*l. |

voiceunheard:There is this beautiful Bible verse, Matthew 7:6 Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces. Even jesus Christ himself knows that it is not everyone you see that needs help that you should help. In your attempt to help them they can attack you. Such people are probably suffering from a curse. Kindly read the text message the pastor sent again. |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by voiceunheard(op): 7:28pm On Feb 23 |
bolabizzle:Don't hide behind the scripture to avoid accountability. What you are saying still doesn't make se*se. |

bolabizzle:He telling me "don't go into pr*stit*tion to get money to rent a house", that one alone proves that he is spiritually bli*d. |

voiceunheard:Majority carries the vote. Everyone in this thread and in the other one you created have told you the truth. It is bitter but try to swallow it. |

voiceunheard Don't worry. When your ban expires I will be here waiting for you. ![]() |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by bolabizzle(m): 7:54pm On Feb 23 |
voiceunheard While you are enjoying your ban, let me also remind you that I love what the roommates elder sister did. She was tired of someone tormenting the life of her younger sister. So she took action to protect the emotional and mental well-being of her sister. What a wonderful sister. That is how every sibling should be. |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by bolabizzle(m): 8:02pm On Feb 23 |
voiceunheard Like I said earlier, NOBODY will support. The least they will do is advise you to move on. God will continue to bless the roommate and her wonderful bold and courageous elder sister and God will continue to bless that pastor. You can see that the Headquarters did not do anything to him. The report did not make him lose his Job. He is doing fine and okay. He is not homeless or frustrated. He is not finding himself in one situation after another. When a person keeps finding himself or herself in continuous problems, it is best the person looks inwards, work on themselves and seek spiritual guidance to remove parental curses. Good bye. |
| Re: My Painful Experience With A Nigerian Pastor’s False Promise & Church's Silence by bolabizzle(m): 8:45pm On Feb 23 |
voiceunheard Banned again. You can go ahead and keep replying me. I won't reply you again because silence is the best answer to a _______ Good night and good bye. |

bolabizzle:Majority carries the vote, but majority are not always right, that is why there's so much ev*l in the world today. |
