Be Someone Sunshine When Their Skies Are Gray!)

OmoAlata1:
You are an idiot and you can kiss my black ass. Leave me with bible quoting nonsense

Sorry dear, for the word of God cannot be nonsense.

OmoAlata1:
You are an idiot and you can kiss my black ass. Leave me with bible quoting nonsense

Sorry to disappoint you and your likes with the word of God, ego and pride which God hated so deeply has taken a whole grip on you, ignorance of the word of God has kept you at the very spot you are and you believe having a very good job and two kids could save you from calamity if God permits it. JOB is a clear case study in the bible, he had a devine and glorous wealth, I did not say a very good job! with God's blessing and hedge of protection to go with and above all that Job had, he was a righteous man, even God boasted to Satan about Job but still calamity struck him and his beloved wife said he should curse God and die.

From the fruit your your mouth I know which side you belong and I pray that God should open your blind eyes to the truth so that you will be a witness of the word of God. Don’t think a very good job can save you, or having 1,2 kids or no kid at all can because there is no guarantee in the measures and system of this world.

continue quoting Bible you hear, the lady that sold pure water me today is a heavily pregnant woman. When hunger nack you, you would open your Bible chapter to NO FOOD FOR LAZY MAN! olori gbigbe

Yettymuse, you pretend to care for the poor and needy but wishing yourself what you wish others is what the bible said and not my own words. In your arrogancy and lack of the wisdom of God Almighty you opened your mouth ignorantly and haughtily to say that the woman who sold pure water to you today was heavily pregnant, I see that sounds good to you! How unwise you are!, the bible said in Proverbs 9:8 Do not correct a fool, or he will hate you; correct a wise man, and he will appreciate you...

I don't care about what Olori gbigbe means in Yoruba, what I have of you and your likes is the word of God which is sharper than two edged sword. One thing is certain in life as the word of God said in Psalm 109:18 As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, so let it enter his body like water, and like oil into his bones.

May the LORD bless his word today in Jesus name. Amen.

JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY AND PLEAD THE CAUSE OF THE POOR AND NEEDY: PROVERBS 31:8

I judge righteously and plead the cause of all those who are poor and needy as the bible commanded me in the book of Proverbs:31:8 Open your mouth, judge righteously and plead the cause of the poor and needy and you may call me the husband, boyfriend or any name you seem fit just as Christ may have appeared to be the husband or boyfriend of the woman he saved from death in the bible whose kinsmen wanted her stoned to death for the reason of adultery. I say the bitter truth from the word of God which is a very strong and bitter pill that you may find very uncomfortable to swallow.

Point of correction;

Giving to the poor or needy in any way is not all about giving them money or material things, one can give someone in need hope by words of encouragement and prayer. You were right! to call me a motivational speaker because that is whom God has made me and I have been the voice of the voiceless and speak the mind of God to people like you who make fun of people's situation, you believe that you are indispensable. Go read the entire book of JOB and be humble before God. No body is compelling you to give any person in need or to the poor because giving out of compulsion or hesitation is sill unacceptable to God because is still like giving nothing at all.

You did not observe nothing from the woman in question, it will be wise to say what you have observed from yourself is that yourself has placed you in the wrong light to see and call others greedy or foolish or lazy. I read her post like two times before writing to you all who are not judging righteously. She stated that she needed help and made you to understand she does a business and was able to pay her children school fees until sickeness of her son took all she had, in other words she does her business in a very small scale and could do better if she is empowered with, between N300,000-500,000 and she went further to say that she can be assisted with any amount. When you pray to God in heaven about a husband, wife or a job, do you just pray vaguely that God should give a husband or a job without specifics of the kind of husband, kind of job and take home pay?

She does not have big eyes as you unwisely said, the problem is that your ego only alloy you to see bad things around other people and why would I compel you to give to others that may need your help when in return God will only bless the one who gives to the poor and needy and not me who ecourages the giver. Sorry, that I may have disappointed you.

Your major problem is that you lack the word of God that is why the devil has blinded so many of you to mock andlaugh at those in need orgeting that in your entire life somehow, somewhere people have helped you.

May God bless his word today in Jesus name.

YOU CAN STILL HELP A NEEDY

We wish others what we could not wise ourselves and our loved ones and you asked that she go to a construction site, maybe with the little child of 10 months on her back to carry a headpan filled with mixed cement and sand to enable her earn a fee for feeding. When you do not have money to give to the poor or needy just because you also is handicapped in a way, that does not stop you from praying for them, giving them the little you can, or better still encourage them with your kind words as the bible said in Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.

No precautionary measures of this life can save you from calamity or the storm of life when it comes, "be you BILL GATES with billions of dollars and one child" will still not save you. Pls, be wise and wake up from your foolishness because Proverbs 18:2 says ; A fool has no delight in understanding but in expressing his own heart. Some people cannot differentiate between a BEGGAR and a NEEDY.

I am not surprised because the bible said this is a generation of vipers in the book of Matthew 12:34-37 

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

You who mock people because the ask and seek for help, remember that nobody is immune to calamity even if you are the most righteous person on earth like JOB was.  When calamity strike you, your wisedom will not save, your wealth, smartness, connection, education, religion will not save you, even family and friends may laugh and mock you on your dying bed just as you are mocking this woman or those in need of help. You wish her to roast corn and hawk pure water whereas when you see yourself in a dreaming doing such trade you immediately wake up to reject and cancel it in your fake prayers which is from your lips. Now I see why God do not answer the prayers of most of us.

yettymuse:
I have checked your older post and I felt to pen this down.
The reason I'm doing this is for the sake of your kids. This is going to be long but worth your read. Note... I don't have money to give you.

*************
Since last year you've been saying the same thing, asking for the same thing, seeking help and asking well-meaning Nigerians to help you raise a 300,000-500,000naira fund to start a business and to give you food. My sister, it can't work! E no fit happen sef except no be this Nigeria wey me and you dey!

. I understand your situation, but it can only get better when you wake up and go kick your own ass! Who give you food today no go give you tomorrow. You can't continue waiting for such a huge capital before you wake up to kick poverty away from your threshold.

Start a pure water business. With zero naira, a wholesale pure water seller can give you few bags to sell in traffic jam and pay in few hours.

It's rainy season now, fresh roasted corn is the hottest thing. With few cash you would gather here and there, enter ketu share bags with other sellers... Just do something, you won't go hungry, your kids would eat and be full and watch how God would bless the works of your hands.

Go to construction sites and do labour work! Yes you would collect 1500-2k in a day, this is a short period until you find a small business to invest the money in.

There is poverty in the land and there is abundance too... You alone would pick where you want. You got 3 kids and trust me this is not the route you wish for them to grow up to.

I wish you all the Best

Anabell2:
You again

You have been begging since last year with different stories. from begging for money to begging for Free Accomodation to begging for loan. Wake up and smell the roses, no one cares

Nairalanders are wicked, they didnt give you money since last year despite all your different sob stories

Go and sell the smartphone you are using to browse and use it to take care of your children!

The money i can give you is this:

Learn how to ZIP UP and close your legs TIGHTLY instead of giving birth to children you cannot cater for! M.o.ron

Go look for a job. Lazybones

Anabell2, I see you really lack an atom of the wisdom of God that made you to forget that no precautionary measures of this life can save you from calamity or the storm of life when it comes, "be you BILL GATES with billions of dollars and one child" will still not save you. Pls, be wise and wake up from your foolishness because Proverbs 18:2 says ; A fool has no delight in understanding but in expressing his own heart. You cannot differentiate between a BEGGAR and NEEDY.

You seem too wise than God and can advise people who are in need to Zip up and stop having children and call them Lazybones, I hope your smart bones have given you wealth where you lack absolute nothing and you seem to be better that other people. You forget that JOB in the bible was a righteous man on earth during his own time, even God recognizes and boasted about him and he had everything in abundance (big family, wealth, silver, gold, influence etc.), you name it but calamity still struck him because God permitted it and the same way you are talking right now was the same way his own wife, friends and most people talked foolishly and unrighteously. You seem to have seen it all in life but you are still a kid because when calamity of life strikes you, your so called smart bones will become crushed and foolish bones.

You make mockery of people who have children because they later had a problem in life which was not as a result of the number of children they have. You seem to be too wise and proud and God said he hates such traits. You called yourself wicked when you said Nairalanders are wicked and could not help her since last year and you unwisely and ignorantly forgot that you also were still a Nairalander as at the time you posted this negative statement.

Now I see why God do not answer the prayers of people like you and at the end you wll end up believing that God does not exist.

You were surposed to judge righteouly and plead the cause of the poor and needy as the book of Proverbs 31:8 said; Open your mouth, judge righteously and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

The bible said in proverbs 17:5 He who mocks the poor reproaches his or her maker; he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.

As you mock the poor and needy the bible said you will not go unpunished because you mock GOD himself except you repent of your ignorance and foolishness and ask for forgiveness from those needy and poor people you mock and also ask God for his mercy and forgiveness because if not, mark this date and it will be a date you will not forget in your entire life. One thing is sure, when God contend wih you, no PASTOR, PROPHET, PRAYER WORRIORS or NATIVE DOCTOR can save you, believe me you wouldn’t want to experience that.

Pls, if you don't have anything good to say that edifies the body of Christ, it is better you shut your mouth and save yourself from destruction as Proverbs 13:3 said: He who guards his mouth preserves his or her life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

May God bless us as we obey the word of God to pray and help those people in need but not to mock and scorn them and discourage those who may have the Godly heart to do so.

enabledgoddess:
You write well , so I will assume you are educated.go get a teaching job they are easy to come by, or pick a factory job. Just do something. To raise little capital to start your insecticide business. Put your kids in a public school. You won't have to pay school fees. No one will help you unless you help yourself. Don't just sit down. You could sell off some things to start again. What about the property you had in your former apartment? Your phone ? Sell them off gather money and start no matter how little. Stop waiting for people. Every needs help these days. Begging doesn't suit

Let me correct you less you go astay, your advise for her to sell her phone is unwise because your phone is an extension of your voice, I have heard many people lay emphasis on her to sell her phone as if the phone is a car, but know that even the so called smart phone or Android phones these days are dirty cheap. Posting on Nairaland requires only an internet enabled device and no human will be in a terrible situation and refuse to sell his or her luxury to survive. Read her story once again and do you think she has not sold her valuables but phone must be out of it.

You can take everything from me, but not my phone and my bible because with my phone my voice can be heard in the wilderness and with my bible the word of God can lighten up my path in that same wilderness.

The reason why I am correcting you is because the bible said so in the book of Proverbs 9:9 Correct a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

I pray you do not fall into problem of life.

BE SOMEONE SUNSHINE WHEN THEIR SKIES ARE GRAY!

If you can help the young woman who is crying out for help, then why not? You do not have to mock her and scorn her simply because she poured her heart out and ask for help.

For it is written that you should ask and it shall be given to you and some do not receive because they did not ask. My heart did ache when I saw some responses of mockery, laughter and jest. If you cannot help someone because you were not privileged that does not permit you to scorn them or poke fun at them. If you do not have resources to give to such a person in need of help, your kind words, encouragement or sincere prayers can bring a little sunshine to their lives.

Think about it. We have money to buy flashy cars, favorite gadgets and live in exotic places and eat palatable meals and splurge on things, but when it comes to someone other than ourselves it becomes a problem.

When it comes to others selfishness starts to kick in. We are told to be imitators of Christ. Was Christ thinking only about Himself when He died on the cross? No!

God has given you the opportunity to be a blessing to someone because it's God who gave you all that you have and he can also take everything from you and you cannot do anything about it.

The Scripture makes it clear that when your heart is set on blessing others, God will bless you in the process.

If you were in need wouldn’t you want someone to help you? Instead of judging, ask yourself that question whenever you see the needy. Always remember that those in need are Jesus in disguise as the bible made me to understand in the book of Matthew 25:42-46.

Matthew 25:42-46

42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, Unclad and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or Unclad or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Great quotes from great people about giving!

Quote (1).

“The more you give, the more comes back to you, because God is the greatest giver in the universe, and He won’t let you outgive Him. Go ahead and try. See what happens.”
Randy Alcorn.

Randy was simply saying that the more we give to the needy and poor the more we shall receive and nor matter what amount or measure you give to someone in need you can't outgive God, and if you give in thousands God can give you in Millions and if you give in millions God can give you in billions because he owns all the treasures and wealth of the universe.

Quote (2).

“A lack of generosity refuses to acknowledge that your assets are not really yours, but God’s.”
-Tim Keller.

Tim Keller is also saying in a simple term that when we are not generous or do not give to those in need that means we have refused to accept the fact that our earthly possessions ( wealth, richies, money, cars, houses, etc) does not belong to us but God's.

Quote (3).

“Be someone’s sunshine when their skies are grey.”

“When you open your heart to giving, angels fly to your door.”

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

“We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.”

– Ronald Reagan.

Reagan, also made us to understand that when we open our heart and give to those in need we automatically open a chanel or link by which angels of God fly to our doors to also give unto us in the areas of our need, which may include; abundant blessing, wealth, devine health, protection, peace, joy, happiness, long life, children etc, and giving to the needy always bring long term great benefits and blessings and we can help someone in our own possible way within our capacity.


WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT GIVING TO THE POOR AND NEEDY?

1. Hebrews 13:16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

2. Luke 3:10-11 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

3. Matthew 5:42 Give to everyone who asks you for something. Don’t turn anyone away who wants to borrow something from you.

BE GENEROUS;

4. Proverbs 19:17 The one who is gracious to the poor lends to the LORD, and the LORD will repay him for his good deed.

5. Proverbs 11:25 The generous soul will be made rich and he who waters will also be watered himself.

6. Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so.

7. Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A large quantity, pressed together, shaken down, and running over will be put into your lap, because you’ll be evaluated by the same standard with which you evaluate others.

8 Matthew 5:42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

9. Psalm 41:1-3 Blessed is he who considers the poor, the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

10. Proverbs 29:7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

11. Proverbs 11:25-27 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

12. Proverbs 28:27 Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed.

GIVE NOT WITH A GRUDGING HEART

13. 2 Corinthians 9:7 Each of you must give what you have decided in your heart, not with regret or under compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver. Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.

13. Deuteronomy 15:10 Be sure to give to them without any hesitation. When you do this, the LORD your God will bless you in everything you work for and set out to do.

May God give us a heart full of love for one another.

OmoAlata1:
Where is your husband in all of these? Why is he not helping? I see all your children are 2 yrs apart. If you are so broke, why do you keep getting pregnant every year for the last 6 yrs?

I don’t get how people can be crying poverty but they have more children then the rich people. Even me that have very good job, I am scared of having more kids after the 2 I have already. I have not gotten pregnant in almost 10 yrs.

Please sell this phone you are using and first thing, go do family planning. You can use the remaining to feed your children.

You who claim to have a good job and have two kids without another for the last 10 years, I see you really lack an atom of the wisedom of God which surpasses all wisedom of men. No precautionary measures of this life can save you from calamity or the storm of life when it comes, "be you BILL GATES with billions of dollars and one child will still not save you". Pls, be wise and wake up from your foolishness because Proverbs 18:2 says ; A fool has no delight in understanding but in expressing his own heart.
