Do not be like the Pharisee who love the praise of men. Do it in secret and your heavenly Father who sees in secret will reward you. You already get your reward, that is men's praises

Q2:271 - If you give alms openly, it is well; but if you do it secretly and give to the poor, that is better. This will absolve you of some of your sins; and God is cognisant of all you do.

You did well. It's not Pharisee but you challenge others. God doesn't joke with the widow, orphans and the needy. God bless you for what you did. We shouldn't day because of the economic situation,we shouldn't show mercy. Whatever you do to others ,wait for you in future.

Yesterday I visited the mall to get toiletries, snacks and beverages for my gangs
It was an impromptu buying. I was actually dodging from buying it, but my gangs just wouldn't let me.

We got all we wanted, ate and arrived home with our loots.

I was trying to fit all we bought inside the kitchen, when I heard the voice of a neighbor, like she stays 2 compound away from mine.

She's a widow who recently lost her husband to the cold hands of death this year (June) precisely and saddled with the lone responsibility of taking care of her 3 lil boys
She came to buy fufu (akpu) for her sons to eat.

I don't know what prompted me, I invited her inside my pavement, then slashed my loots into 3 places then gave her 1 part including a crate of egg idling away.

She started crying ,father lawd I was confused the more, you needed to see the joys in her face.

I knew my kids needed those things badly, but here was a woman who needed it more than us.

I have planned gifting her 2 paints of rice during Xmas period to put smiles on her face. May God make things easier for every one of us.

The economy is hard at the moment, but let's try and help one another. People are going thru alot, it takes the grace of God for some people to even afford 1 square meal.

Hers was pics 1.
Pics 3&4 for my gangs


Pics 2.....my boy refused sharing his and he held on to his loot

You did extremely well but why posting it?

If we all decide to post ours, FP no go contain am.

Anyway, you have received your rewards already with this showoff. I'm just being realistic here.

The posting in my opinion is to motivate people like you and I to lend hands of fellowship and goodwill to the less privileged when we have to give or share. At the same time, I feel the post is also an expression of fulfllment in her giving.

Yo fish, you have done what is right but posting it online ain't a good sh!t, you could have done it without posting this, to me you did not help her, you did that to make us think you are nice, but you ain't. B*R*F*Y*A. let say it the other way round, will you love to see this as the woman,

God Bless you

Today, I met an old lady just by herself on the crossroads - she was looking so frantic..... I moved close to her and asked: Mama, you want to cross the road, she shook her head and said, yes my son I'm trying to but I can't...

Gently took her hand and led her to the other side of the road....

She was so happy! Ah! My son — may God bless you.

No act of kindness is too big or small. God bless you Op. Together, we shall make Nigeria a better place.

Please be kind to check my signature and use the freebie.

May God bless our hustles....you have really played the role of a brother's keeper. This is the service that God accepts most. May your pocket never run dry. We nairalanders should also try to emulate this act. It's well with us all

GUY read what you wrote.... What does it mean by IT IS WELL? Have you told someone your issues and the person say hmmmm it is well o. LOL, you can never get help from that person, only eyaaaaah you tried but you would overcome. SEE THIS KIND OF RUBBISH
HAS TO END. Now a days people de die instead of help, na camera them go bring out put for blog then na, IT IS WELL SHA, GOD WOULD TAKE CONTROL. EYAAAAAH. EVEN IF, WHY MUST SHE SNAP WHAT SHE GAVE TO A WIDOW SUFFERING WITH 3 KIDS?

If you were that widows son and have access to a mobile phone with data and see the same ITEMS on display on a public social media, would you touch it? How would you feel? BLACK PEOPLE, THERE IS WELL, GOOD, BETTER AND BEST BUT WOULD ALWAYS SETTLE FOR THE LEAST

Nice one may Gid continue to enrich you.

phorget:




Dont even go there!

He's right though
The giver has done what many people can't do and it's very commendable

However if you are a believer of the holy book, in Matthew 6:3, it says when you give to the needy, your right hand should not know what the left hand did

Coming on nairaland to tell us you have given alms is doing just what the holy book said you shouldn't do

The giver has done very well but next time leave your camera at home when giving to the needy, we don't need to know it

I also made one middle aged man hawking in traffic yesterday smiled. I gifted him 1k without buying anything from him. This man waylaid my car and wouldn't let me go, he's so grateful for just 1k o.

You did well, but I would have preferred you bought beans, egusi and rice instead of those junk shiiit I'm seeing there that has no nutritional value.

IndomitablE Fc. Make indomie noodles sign you for the club abeg. You do well, nagode

The giver was simply looking for social media validation and that's not cool

The world we live in these days I guess

True talk bro

Some people here are paying school fees for less privileged but won't come here to talk about it, for what exactly? So they can clap and you receive validation

"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

I hope she sees THIS.....

Rubbish

This is why we tell women to have something solid before marriage.

I'm not sure any man would want to carry the burden of 3 little kids.

May God bless you...you did very well

Much love from this side

I knew someone's going to quote that bible verse but i still beg to disagree. Nairalanders doesn't know the widow in question. The OP is excited, the happiness in the windows eyes is what prompted the OP to come here to preach to others about giving so that we too can have a giving heart.

What if the receiver chooses to announce to the world...did the holy book talked anything about that?

Why telling the whole world?

Ok

Stop posting this..
Do you think the food will test any less delicious,in the mouth of the Widow and her Kids,because the OP decided to post the picture of the food?
Take a second to think about that,before you post..
