First and foremost, you're simply naive! When you enter into a relationship, look around, try to find out your partners problems. Is she been pestered to get married, is she broke just finding anything to hold onto as a lifeline, is she just for the fling, sex, etc. These should inform how you relate.
Second, you don't say "yes" when you mean to say "no"! It would lead to a fight, quarrel let it be. Stand up and stick to your gun. What you mostly fail to see is that most women don't get spite when you turn them down, especially over a demand you absolutely can't meet, rather they see you as principle, real and rational.
Third, you just said your own part of the story and it doesn't sound good even when it came from your mouth, imagine when we have the opportunity to hear the other side of the story from her?
My verdict: No one pushed you into a corner, you allowed yourself to be led into it. By the way, forget your principles , cos you have none. And about time you understand too that Heaven won't fall if she works in your establishment. What you feel is unsafe, and somehow you seem to feed on her joblessness, perhaps as a tool to keep her in check and susceptible to your whim and caprices. If you truly have a way and means of helping anyone, please do, ditch the rationality. She doesn't necessarily need to be your wife or pay you back for your generosity, No. Posterity has it in store!

I will be as simple as possible.

So me and this girl is dating and she needs a job. She's stylishly asking me to help get her a job where I work, the asking is starting to turn into nagging.
I admire and respect that she wants to work and earn, that's one thing I'll always love in any woman. But the idea of working is the Same company as me is just not comfortable with me, because, I don't date colleagues.
It's one rule I cannot scrap in my life.
No office Romance.

The trick here is I've already said 'Yes' because I thought she was joking, now it turns out she's serious, I. Don't like being pushed into a corner.

What to-do?

Elijahrona:
So true... If the government can focus on inculcating the spirit of entrepreneurship into we the youths, there will be nothing like increase in unemployment anymore.

The government cannot employ everyone neither should the citizens be reliant on the government for jobs. Empower people to become entrepreneurs.

Not just that though... The environment should be favorable as well:
- good and safe road to transport goods
- source of constant (or almost-constant) electricity so operations can flow
- Rewards (in the form of support) to entrepreneurs doing well so they'll be eager to continue...

Well... Since the government are not doing these things yet (not that I know of), we can build ourselves and not just wait for a "government" to help us... Start with a small step till the dream becomes the reality.

theButterfly:
In fact this is the type of man I will only date.

pansophist:


Exactly. It is like a drug dealer, he wants the money from his addict, but hate the addict and want nothing to do with him. A woman always wants a man that other women want. Any man that settled with a single-mum has inadvertently signified that he is at the bottom of the social ladder, without any attractive women competing for him hence, he is settling for her. She will loathe him, as he is an evidence of the best she can attract, which contradict her hypergamous instinct.

Liftedhands:
Reading all your comments about this topic. This is the only one I agree with you 100percent.

My childs welfare comes first no argument.

As a single mother "BY CHOICE" legally was married and walked out on my own accord and terms cos I don't won't no manwhore as husband. I pat myself everyday for taking that bold step to leave a serial casanova and I don't regret it one bit.



No single mother became a mother by mistake! No no! She thought it over and made the best and wisest decision to keep a life rather than abort it cos one boy feels he aints ready to take responsibility for his action.


Single mothers have it rough and tough raising kids all alone coupled with society with a mindset as yours.


It's shameful to see and regard them as unworthy of love! No woman who has gone thru the travails of childbirth whether as a wife or a single girl should be shamed for choosing to keep a life.


If you don't fancy them fine but don't discourage a brother who finds love and peace with one with your utterances and belief.

Note we all can't have same taste and choice in whom we love so don't crucify those who choose to love a single mother.

Every child born on this earth deserves the love and care of a father and mother be it step or biologically.


Live and let live

Shalom.

In his book, Tony Evans Speaks Out On Gambling and The Lottery, pastor/author, Tony Evans, says,

"Winning the lottery is not tied to anything but a thirst for wealth. It is not tied to God's leading or plan for you. It's not even tied to your needs. So what you are doing is asking God to bless nothingness. You are asking Him to bless getting money for money's sake. That's greed, and God won't bless it."

Nevertheless, like Evans, the majority of Christians the world over still insist that gambling and playing the lottery is a sin.

Jesus said, "Take heed that no man deceive you" (Mt. 24:4).

No man means no man--not your father, your mother, your spouse, your children, your friends, your co-workers, your pastor, the president, no one!

The way to "take heed" is by taking heed to what the Word says. It means to weigh everything someone says about God against the backdrop of Scripture.

If you live by the Berean Principle, it is not even remotely possible that you can ever be misled or incorrect about anything pertaining to God.

What Does The Word Say?
The easiest way to apply the Berean Principle is by asking yourself, "What does the Word say?"

When anybody presents anything to you as if it is coming from God, immediately ask yourself, "What does the Word say?"

Whenever you're in a situation and you don't quite know what decision you should make, ask yourself, "What does the Word say?"

When you're going along in one direction in life, whether in career or relationships or whatever, and someone comes along endeavoring to persuade you to go in an altogether different direction, ask yourself, "What does the Word say?"

You will always be on point if you will but simply train yourself to ask yourself, "What does the Word say?"

How do we know this? Because Jesus said, "the Scripture cannot be broken" (Jn. 10:35).

In other words, Scripture is always right about everything.

How so?

Because it is the Word of God.

And the sage of Israel insisted, "There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel, against the Lord" (Prov. 21:30).


Casting Lots
That being true, what does the Word of the Lord actually say about the lottery?

Observe:
"And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions" (Jos. 18:10).

The Hebrew word for "lots" here is gowral, meaning "pebbles."

"And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles" (Acts 1:26).

The Greek word for "lots" here is kleros, meaning "pebbles or sticks."

The word "lot" is actually the root word for "lottery."

So we see the patriarch, Joshua, and the apostle, Peter, engaged in some form of lottery.

After praying, Joshua cast pebbles to the ground to determine the will of God in the matter of who of the children of Israel should get what plot of land.

After praying, Peter cast pebbles or sticks to the ground to determine the will of God in the matter of who should take the place of the apostle, Judas Iscariot, who had recently committed suicide.

Many biblical scholars recognize the fact that today's equivalent of casting lots is the rolling of dice.

Actually, Joshua and Peter were gambling under divine direction!

Wealth of the Sinner
As it is written, "For God giveth to a man that is good in His sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner He giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God" (Ecc. 2:26).

Now exactly where in this day and age is the sinner gathering and heaping up all of this wealth; wealth that he will eventually be forced to give to those that are good in the sight of God?

I'll tell you where--in Nairabet, in Bet365naija, in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and the myriad of casinos and state lotteries, all over the world.

That's precisely where the sinner is heaping up all of his wealth for you!

The devil knows this but he doesn't want you to know this.

That is why he inspires some pastors to get up in the pulpit and blab on incessantly about why Christians shouldn't have anything to do with gambling or lotteries.

That's not God telling those ministers to say that, or else He would be contradicting His own Word which says, "And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just" (Prov. 13:22).

Satan is the one deceiving Tony Evans and a host of other ministers into saying this things that not only does not line up with the Word of God but actually contradicts the Word.

It's because the more money Christians have, the easier it will be to utilize that money as a tool to turn the world to God.

It takes lots and lots of money to finance the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

It also takes lots and lots of money for you to live "life, and that more abundantly" (Jn. 10:10).

That's why God wants you rolling in cash.

The scripture asks, "Do they not blaspheme that worthy Name by the which ye are called?" (James. 2:7).

The Italian mafia blasphemes His Name!

The Russian mob blasphemes His Name!

Hollywood blasphemes His Name!

Corporate America blasphemes His Name!

Rappers, rock stars and R & B artists blaspheme His Name!

They do indeed blaspheme the holy and reverend name of "the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" (Tit. 2:13)!

That is why Jesus said, "Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive ye into everlasting habitations" (Lk. 16:9).

In other words, Jesus wants you to take the intitiative to befriend wealthy sinners.

Why?

Because God wants to punish them for their disobedience to His Word and reward you for your obedience to His Word by transferring their wealth into your hands!

Clarence Otis, Jr.--a Black man born into abject poverty--kept making friends with wealthy sinners over the years until he finally became the CEO of Darden Restaurants, Inc.--the company that owns Red Lobster, Olive Garden, The Capital Grille, Longhorn Steakhouse, Bahama Breeze, and Seasons 52 restaurants.

Shout, "Glory!"

You're The Stranger!
It is written in the oracle of Solomon, "A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease" (Ecc. 6:2).

Think about that--there are people that God assists in becoming ridiculously rich. Then God prevents them from enjoying those riches by transferring those riches into the hands of a stranger.

And who is that stranger?

You!

You're that stranger!

For it is written, "the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just" (Prov. 13:22).

That is why you must allocate a portion of your money to the lottery/betting of the state in which you live until the day you win those sinners' money!

Some years ago, while watching the news, I saw a man from Texas being interviewed because he just won $10 million dollars in the state lottery. Just four years before he won the state lottery, and here he was winning it again.

The anchorwoman asked him what he was going to do with that money, the first thing out of his mouth was, "Well, I'm going to give $1 million dollars of it in Tithes to my church."

Did you hear that?!

The man said he was going to break of a Tithe of $1 million dollars to his church!

He is a classic example of why the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

God wants to transfer the sinners' wealth into your hands because He knows you're going to honor Him with a portion of that money.

In Scripture, paying your Tithes and giving Offerings is called "honor." For this purpose, the richest man in history wrote, "Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase" (Prov. 3:9).

Hugh Heffner is not going to honor God with his money. He'll use it to spread more magazines of nude women around the world.

Jay-Z, D'banj etc etc is not going to honor God with their money. He'll use it to sell more profane records that promote violence and perversion.

Afrocandy is not going to honour God with her money, She'll use it to sell more pornographic films.

Wendy Williams is not going to honor God with her money. She'll use it to promote more gossip and slander of people made in the image and likeness of God.

Marilyn Manson is not going to honor God with his money. He'll use it to create more demonically inspired music in honor of Satan.

That is precisely why God wants you to have that wealth!

As it is written, "But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth" (Deut. 8:18).

One of the many ways the Creator gives you the power to get the sinners' wealth is by anointing you to outperform them in football and other sports prediction, BlackJack and Poker and Wheel of Fortune and the slot machines and various games in Las Vegas and Atlantic City and the various casinos throughout the country.

That's correct--Spirit-led gambling!

You could not operate in this anointing before because you had a stronghold in your mind against gambling.

You were like the children of Israel who "limited the Holy One of Israel" (Ps. 78;41).

Yes, when you were but a babe in Christ you were prejudiced against gambling and the lottery by the likes of Tony Evans and others like him who spend their years "desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm" (1 Tim. 1:7).

These manglers of Scripture convinced you that their opinion was the Word of God.

Indeed, these are they who are "ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Tim. 3:7).

NEWSFLASH: through gambling and the lottery, God wants to transfer the sinners' wealth into your hands!

This is because the Father knows that you, His very own child, will honor Him with a portion of that money and help finance the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through your Tithes and Offerings so that "the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Hab. 2:14).

God is commited to the redemption of the human race from the hands of the devil (See Heb. 2:14,15).

The preaching and the teaching of the Word of God bring about this redemption (See 2 Cor. 5:18,19).

And money helps bring about the financing of the preaching and teaching of God's Word (See Mal. 3:10 c.f. Heb. 7: 8 ).

Money, Money, Money!
There's an old yiddish proverb which says,

"The world stands on three things--money, money and money."

Indeed!

No matter what you may have heard to the contrary, you're not going to get very far in life without a certain degree of money.

There's no way around it. There's no way under it. And there's no way over it. So you might as well just go ahead and accept it.

The reason this is true is because money is a divine idea. God is the one who made it up, not man. And that is why the Word of God clearly says,

"A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything" (Ecc. 10:19 NIV).

Yes, money is the answer for everything!

For your health, for your children's education, for your monthly car note, for your rent/mortgage, for your 401K plan, for your membership at the gym, for your groceries, for your utilities, for your vacations, for your everything!

That's precisely why God wants you to go down to the casino or to the corner store and get those sinners' money!

The African-American pastor from Columbia, South Carolina--Solomon Jackson, Jr.--walked in this revelation. That is why he went to the local gas station four months ago, played the Powerball state lottery, and won $260 million dollars!

That's why you need to stop procrastinating and follow his example, and go get those sinners' money now!

@ d bolded: is it dt she may still likely reject him/cheat on him when the 'real' man of her dream - tall, dark and handsome- shows up even in marriage?
tnx

chronique:
Following. For me, I think you should marry someone who doesn't give you stress, nor makes falling in love frustrating. A lady who has a lot of pride in her, is also a no go area if you want to have sanity in marriage cos you'd end up always having to beg her when there's a disagreement. That can be frustrating to any man. Once tried falling in love with someone like that and I was ready to make sacrifices to just make it work but the more I tried, the more I got frustrated. Despite her being even older than me and being a single mom, I didn't mind. Was trying to focus solely on her good side. When I could no longer cope with being on her case, I just kept quiet and stopped all forms of communication with her and I told myself then, that at my age, I should not be chasing a lady that is close to xyz yrs, for a whole year because I want date. It doesn't make sense.

What's the essence of the money you have if the next man standing beside you is broke, your money is valueless if the next man is hungry.

Nonsense.......spit

TheUpsetGirl:
Ladies are never broke. We are not defined by our pockets, Understand that. Guys need to stop being disheartened about women having standards for guys. Work hard and be the best version of yourself or don’t say anything at all young man. Being financially poor is not attractive to anybody, even if that woman “loves” you. She will leave you/ cheat on you for somebody who can provide more for her. Simple as ABC. Accept it.

MEILYN:
They are the chosen people of God. They have all the rights in the world to kill and insult black people anyhow they like. We should worship them, serve their God and protect them by all means.

Anyone who insults this Rabbi wouldn't make heaven. I repeat, leave God's people alone, they are allowed to do anything they want to the inferior black race. God brought them to this earth to judge us, the Bible says Israel will judge the world. We are lucky to still be alive, we are descendants of Cain in the Bible and we don't deserve anything good. Ohh, God of Israel, I worship thee. I give the black race to Israel as a peace offering.

musicwriter:
The anti-Christ is a defense mechanism put up by Satan in advance to have you religious people reject the Christ when and if he returns. Satan is the head of all religion and this is the last thing he want you to know. The anti-Christ is actually the real Christ and when he returns he will overturn Christianity, telling you that Christianity has been currupted and no longer represent him. He will tell you all the ugly truth that Christianity has long been hijacked by Satan and that he is the real Christ. But, like the first time, nobody will believe him. Everyone is going to call Christ the anti-Christ when he returns, except the spiritual people would recognize him.

What do you people do today when Freeze tell your pastors the truth? You call him the anti-Christ!!. So shall Christendom call Christ when he returns with the uncomfortable truth.

SERMON
The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is argued by many to be a true life story, because unlike others a character was named. There are several lessons to be learned from this wonderful story told by Our Lord and they include the following:
1. MATERIAL WEALTH IS NOT ALWAYS A SIGN THAT YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH OF SALVATION : contrary to claims of some prosperity preachers, this story comes to show that you being wealthy does not mean you are on the right path with God. The Pharisees of Jesus' time were money loving people who believed been wealthy was a sign your worship was acceptable to God. Wealth does not only come from God, you can get money from the devil, you can get money from cheating others , you can get from falsifying your scales, but good wealth come from God and more important to him is what you do with it, for to whom more is given, more is expected. Hence,stop envying those around you who are rich without following the way of the Father,for what lies ahead of them you do not Know and might not wish to partake in it, stop questioning God when you see a poor righteous man, for what lies ahead of him is the greatest that can happen to any mortal,remember the earth and its wealth is not our home, we all will leave here one day. BEEN POOR DOES NOT MEAN GOD HATES YOU.

2. THE SIN OF THE RICH MAN
The sin of the rich man was not loving his neighbor like himself. Your neighbor is any one around you, whether rich or poor, male or female, believer or non-believer. Show all love and help all in need. Jesus did not accuse him of not helping anyone at all, he was accused of not helping the Beggar at his gate. So many of us today do the most abominable things to those who we feel are not in our social status around us, look around in churches and you can easily spot who the house girl is in a family, some rich families make their house helps sleep on the bare floor and eat spoilt food. O how vile the fruit we bear are! A tree is known by its fruit, does who produce sweet fruits are good and bad fruits are bad. So ask your yourself what sort of fruit do I produce? Start by using the litmus test of how you treat does who cannot pay you back. Do you throw feasts for your rich friends and ignore your parents need?, do you throw feasts and ignore the plea of a friend in need of a loan?

IS THIS ONLY ABOUT MATERIAL WEALTH?
No, it is whatever you are blessed with. You are blessed with the gift of preaching,you preach far and wide but you do not preach to your children, siblings to change from their sinful ways. In whatever measure you have, give to the poor (those who don't have) for the Good Lord is a friend and lover of the poor.

THE BROTHERS OF THE RICH MAN
these are doubting Thomas. Those who have hardened their hearts and minds against life after death. They see themselves to be intelligent simply because they seem to differ. The live as though they will live forever. They say to themselves, look at all the money I have through my hard work yet this believer who claims his Bible told him he will be given all he asks for is poor. This is the ideology of the Rich man's brothers that is why the rich man requested for a dead man to go back to them because it is only then they would believe. To all who doubt the existence of an after life, we pray to God for their hearts to be open before it is too late.
