I have been in my present job for 8years...I could remember when I got the job, my pastor asked me to resign just because I falsified my date of birth, that I won't last in the coy. Trust me, I ignored him and I don't have any regret. The guy(pastor) is still collecting my tithe every months. Smh for all these pastors 2 Likes |

Most Pastors are Misinterpreting Jesus. Never let your pastor make a Key decision in your life, they're flesh & blood. I weep for Christianity, I am in serious pains for this anomaly 1 Like |

You can only get lured if u want to even pastors get lured in church so what are you saying? Get to really understand circumstances where u can put God to test before u preach it.

It's all about choice and mindset. D Bible commends that christians should abstain from all appearances of evil 1 Thess 5:22. Der are some work dat those dat have experienced true salvation shouldn't be found doing because of d vulnerability and as ambassadors of christ does nt reflect good representation of d divine mandate. Man by nature is prone to be influenced by what he continually listens to or sees. Some church doctrines are against alcohol intake and as such preaches total abstinence from alcohol for the good of the members . So he is left to draw his judgement from the bible and his faith. Then either accepting d Job at d expense of his growth or spiritual life or declining the offer for his faith and God will surely bless him at d appropriate time because God's blessings maketh rich and addeth no sorrow |

Can someone please help me with the verse of the Bible where it is stated that alcohol is a Sin? Cos my own Bible says... "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." (Ephesians 5:6) It never said do not drink. Note that wine in this context means alcohol. The emphasis is on Drunkenness. Little wine for the stomach is good for your health. So no crime in working there my brother. Everything depends on your faith and discerning of the sacred scriptures. Congratulations on your new job! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Did ur friend ask the pastor why he asked him to quit? Go further and ask him if it is the spirit of God that directed him to tell u to quit? Whatever his answers are, tell him to show you where the bible condemns beer. King David was God's friend, did God ever condmn David because of alcohol? Tell him to show you in the bible. All I know is that a wise man will stay away from alcohol drinking or rather drink it responsibly (a bottle to 2 bottles in a week), not too much, to avoid d effect of much drinking. Secondly if alcohol have an instant effect on you like it does on my brother even when he takes a cup, avoid it totally. Alcohol has killed many people and paralysed many people and turn many to total idiot. This is because they abused the drink and not take it responsibly. Take only what ur body can take and will not alter your mood erroneously. If it is because the coy is producing beer that the pastor ask you to quit, tell him you will quit when he gives you a good paying job. Whoever suffers as a result of drinking alcohol caused it upon himself\herself i.e he\she is responsible for his\her action and not the producers, agents, or staff of the producing coy. By the way, alcohol production is legal and, also not a sin from the angle of my spartacle. DRINK RESPONSIBLY as directed by the coy. I once drink it and had a terrible accident to the point of death. I was useless for months and also delayed my carrer and projects. It was divine intervention that got me through. If I didn't drink the alcohol that day, the accident would not have happened. It happened because the alcohol clouded my sense of judgement. The irony was that I took just a bottle that day and every other days in the past that I took a single or more bottles, nothing happened to me. Even people who don't drink do have accidents for one reason or another. |

Since he has the full conviction that it's a miraculous job through the Pastor's prayer that landed him the job, he should heed to him. The next miraculous job could be the best ever. The breweries' job may just be a test. My opinion though. |

U need a mind of ur own when making certain decisions in life.I work with a foremost tobacco company in Nigeria but I don't smoke, likewise most of my colleagues. I have a lot of friends in NB who do not drink, some Christians, some Muslims. I equally know some of their top managers who are pastors in their various churches. U need to choose between being a church worker and a financier in the church. |

joyspringacad:Do you know the likes of fayrouz, hi malt and maltina are produced by this same company? I believe you drink those or do you avoid them because they're produced by the same company that produces beer. His job description is even maintenance engineer that has to be with machinery and not even the contents of the beverages(alcoholic or not). One last question, I believe you agree our Lord Jesus Christ, the founder of this religion (Christianity) which we're practicing including this pastor concerned is infallible. If yes, would you then accuse of him engineering people's destruction by firstly attending a party where wine was the liquid consumed and even went as far as performing his first significant miracle by turning water to wine for them to drink and merry when the wine got exhausted. This is the problem of modern Christianity. People have tend to become even more Catholic than the Pope. 1 Like |

I hear staff of nbl often get unlimited supply of alcohol drink in their leisure time. That it's just there in dispenser for them to drink as they like. If that's the truth I can understand the pastors reservation. The pastor can only advice though, the person whose soul hangs in the balance is your friend. In this economy I don't advice anyone to turn a job opportunity down especially one so lucrative, I know I won't but he has been warned. He should be on his guard. |
