Coronavirus123:
Oga, bible did not say you should give girls urgent 2k to encourage laziness and immorality

Really

/
Don't forget that Bible verses were written by men to believers to address certain issues. Eg. Letter of Paul to Corinthians, etc. Imagine if Oyedepo or Adeboye were to write letters to their followers in different branches, what will be the content of such letters? The issues they were dealing with in 20 A.D are not applicable in 2021 A.D.

God did not pick a pen and wrote the Bible. Let's get that straight.

girls should b e able to give cheerfully

Akell:
When Christians are stingy they usually never realize it. You can give and still be stingy. There are some people who give, but with a grudging heart. They think “Aww, do I really have too?” There are some people who offer things, but in their mind they hope the other person says no.

We must not be lovers of self and lovers of money. We must think about others just like Christ thought about us. Give with a cheerful heart not expecting anything in return. Be generous and love others just like Christ loves you. Stinginess is not part of the Christian life.

People are worth more than material things you must never forget that. Where are you storing up your treasures? Would you rather buy stuff or help the poor? Why not readjust your giving today and be a blessing to others. It is so hard for rich people to enter into Heaven.

What does the Bible say?

1.  Proverbs 28:22-24 The stingy person hastens after riches and does not know that poverty will overtake him. The one who reproves another will in the end find more favor than the one who flatters with the tongue. The one who robs his father and mother and says, “There is no transgression,” is a companion to the one who destroys.

2.  Proverbs 23:6-8 Do not eat the food of a stingy person, do not crave his delicacies; for he is like someone calculating the cost in his mind. “Eat and drink,” he says to you, but his heart is not with you; you will vomit up the little bit you have eaten, and will have wasted your pleasant words.

Give not with a grudging heart

3. 2 Corinthians 9:7-10 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.

4. 1 Chronicles 29:9 The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the LORD. David the king also rejoiced greatly.

5. Romans 12:8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

6.  Proverbs 11:24-27 One person is generous and yet grows more wealthy, but another withholds more than he should and comes to poverty. A generous person will be enriched, and the one who provides water for others will himself be satisfied. People will curse the one who withholds grain, but they will praise the one who sells it. The one who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but the one who searches for evil—it will come to him.

7. Deuteronomy 15:8-11 Instead, be generous and lend them whatever they need. Do not be mean-spirited and refuse someone a loan because the year for canceling debts is close at hand. If you refuse to make the loan and the needy person cries out to the LORD, you will be considered guilty of sin. Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do. There will always be some in the land who are poor. That is why I am commanding you to share freely with the poor and with other Israelites in need.

Treasures in Heaven 

8. Luke 12:16-24 Then he gave an illustration: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. In fact, his barns were full to overflowing—he couldn’t get everything in. He thought about his problem, and finally exclaimed, ‘I know—I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones! Then I’ll have room enough. And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “Friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Wine, women, and song for you!”’  “But God said to him, ‘Fool! Tonight you die. Then who will get it all?’ “Yes, every man is a fool who gets rich on earth but not in heaven.” Then turning to his disciples he said, “Don’t worry about whether you have enough food to eat or clothes to wear. For life consists of far more than food and clothes. Look at the ravens—they don’t plant or harvest or have barns to store away their food, and yet they get along all right—for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!”

9. 1 Timothy 6:18-19 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.

10. Matthew 25:34-40 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Be generous

11. Proverbs 22:9 The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.

12. Luke 6:38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.

13. Proverbs 19:17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.

Reminders


14. Proverbs 11:26-27 The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it. Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to him who searches for it.

15. Galatians 6:9-10 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

16. 1 Peter 4:8-10 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

See how Christians use the bible as a tool to sell personal views
So you believe dashing babes IPhone 12 would take you to heaven?
There is no single blessing for being nice to babes. If you have charity, give to the poor. It's not about spoiling your babe.
Kindly leave the bible out of this.

Hmmmm...

The Bible say give ashawo only one loaf of bread

Proverb 6 vs 26

Bible stingy oooo

Give a hoe only one loaf of bread , that's her worth

We’re only stingy towards broke hoes that are after our pocket. We give to our mothers, sisters and friends.

The men are not stingy I repeat. Their sense just de come back.

Maga no de pay as before, business no be as it use to in Jonathan. Buhari don change the landscape. Covid 19 creat him own financial lockdown. No money to blow.

But the girls bein pikin them over pamper still de make their high pitch demands.

Thats is the reason for the announcement. It's not stinginess. It's an announcement say money no de as before.

I blame the useless men.

Tell them to regulate the music too.

Because if the anthem no be about "shake your yanch for me I go spray you my money. Maybe this girl's for don get sense small."

don't be like Adam..saying .." the woman you gave me made me"...

As a man Take responsibility for your life.

Take responsibility.

Now Bible verses done show Because boys won dey stingy when gals they stingy Bible never come out

But my question is why woman always ask for money

Queenlovely:
stupid adults behaving like children is what we have in Nigeria,

let us just think for a minute, use ur brain do small mathematics.

have you ever heard rich white guys complaining about women.

when you decide to befriend a shallow thinker what were you expecting.

this SMAN thing means all our girls are gold diggers

Proudly gold-digger, i only dig gold.

AntiChristian:
Let me see what I can do!

What about stingy women?

Won't you do justice to all your pending questions, or allah is revealing surat escaping and ignoring for you nii?

Goodnight123:
But my question is why woman always ask for money

In Nigeria relationship is like a Job ,

Angela - I don't have money to make my hair

Cynthia - what about your boyfriend ?

oneTIMEman:
Being stingy to women is not a sin. I went out with my cousin brother yesterday with my university old friend, all bill on me...im i stingy?

Correction :male cousin
There is nothing like cousin brother. After una go talk say na only females get fish brain.

This is outright nonsense.

if you want to give, give mostly to hapless and helpless people, not because she is a woman and has something to shake and a hole for insection.

Quoting bible to rebuke what the association stands for is senseless.

I think people are really misinterpreting the intent of SMAN.

You can be generous and still be stingy.

It depends on how people view you through their different lenses.

For example, a SMAN member will not be stingy towards his mother, but would be towards an opportunistic girlfriend.

Do you mean say some grown up men put this stingy men thing for head? mad people are among us

Very nice. Akell i hope you are thinking about what the Bible says for the SWAN too

Op it seems you took it wrong, to my own understanding about this stingy association, is between the gender (opposite sex) you mean I should be giving to a gal av been trying to woo for a long time and taking me for a mum.

Am married and I will and can never be stingy to my wife, but u see all those gals aluta continua.
Pls go through the ideology of the SMAN b4 quoiting any bible here.

Shalom

stupid adults behaving like children is what we have in Nigeria,

let us just think for a minute, use ur brain do small mathematics.

have you ever heard rich white guys complaining about women.

when you decide to befriend a shallow thinker what were you expecting.

this SMAN thing means all our girls are gold diggers

The associate is against lazy hoes who are all out to offer nothing but gold dig. Unless you're one I don't see how that is so hard for someone with a brain to decipher

Many girls are being threatened by this association. Let continue so that Nigeria girls should start making their own money.

My money..... My stingy........


One storybook, cannot teach me how to spend my money..... That storybook, did not make the money for me..........

oneTIMEman:
Being stingy to women is not a sin. I went out with my cousin brother yesterday with my university old friend, all bill on me...im i stingy?

bro that one is different... one thing I’ve also noticed is that if you help a man no matter how ingrate he is and long it is, he would pay back one day ( might not be in money form ). But women ? Any money u spend on woman is a waste bro.. that’s the bitter truth

These things are two different things. Bible teaches us to give to the needy and not those oloshos with urgent 2k format.

My first question is:

Giving to who ?....

The NEEDY or the GREEDY?

Giving generously and cheerfully to God's work or in advancement of moral pervasion and entitlement mentality?

Giving generously in exchange for sex?

God want us to be a cheerful giver not a wasteful spender.
