Good morning dear Nairalanders

Last year three of us were employed in a private school earning 25k a month, which I hardly managed. Considering the increase of price of goods and services, last week we decided to write a letter demanding for pay review.

As a result of this, the school administrator terminate our appointment and refuse to pay us our June salary uptill now. Can you imagine the wickedness happening in this world even in this hard times which I hardly eat twice a day but this happened to me, I don't know where to go now in fact this life tire me I swear.

Please i need advice on how to handle this issue with the school. Is it a crime to ask employer for pay rise? Can we take him to court for breach of contract?

In your case, I would just move on. It's ok for be to be cheating themselves by cheating me.

I've learnt one thing before and after my stupid days, what they call karma, I call God's judgement is very real. I thought I made away with lots of wrongs in my younger days, but later I realized Jesus is Lord. So I pity such people...

Jesus did not come to make Fans but Disciples...

Far too many christians today are mere Jesus' fans.

Fans main job is simply to cheer up their admirers or idols or performers by clapping or shouting especially when they're happy with them.

While a disciple is one who does—not just hears or reads—what Jesus says:

Mark.8.34 - When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

Mark.8.35 - For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.

Are we disciples or just mere fans that Jesus doesn't even recognize because he's not like a celebrity... He's king and master.

May the Lord bless you.

Just thinking about the relevance of what Paul said about the 3 items of religious falsehood in 2 Corinthians 11:4 in our present world, then the work "counterfeit" came to mind.

Did a quick Google search and it came out: a fraudulent imitation. A good picture of the passage:

2Cor.11.4 - For if he who comes preaches "ANOTHER Jesus" whom we have not preached, or if you receive "a DIFFERENT spirit" which you have not received, or "a DIFFERENT gospel" which you have not accepted--you may well put up with it!

Another Jesus is the type that wouldn't conform to the new testament in terms of self denial and obedience in general. Matt. 16:24

A different spirit condones or make light of sin. It's that which doesn't necessarily lead to holiness nor repentance, but mere religious activities on the outside, or show offs, or regular activities peculiar to a church. Rom. 12:1

A different gospel focuses more on popularity and money making. Just religious words entertainment and church membership, not necessarily repentance and a change of life. Having crusades or evangelism mainly to get people to join the "church business".

I must confess, from experience through the years, due to the lust for money and popularity, most popular church movement, pastors, gospel singers are promoters of these counterfeits with christian whitewashes on top like bible knowledge, eloquent sermons and spiritual gifts to fool their followers. Very few are different.

No wonder Jesus said narrow is the way, and few find it; and it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle...

I don't judge anyone, but it says test every spirit whether they're from God (1 John 4:1).

If we're in doubt, please let's check ourselves and these great pastors, christian actors, musicians (and now comedians) we're following even more faithfully than God's Words.

Let's check if there are real Fruits not just gifts or leaves (religious words, gifts, appearance and things).

When Jesus came to the fig tree, he could not find any fruit but leaves. And he cursed it. Leaves are like these church activities, religious or good words and appearance, etc., we do. Could be good if they're grounded in good fruit, though.

Otherwise, it's dead. Even though people are impressed, not God.

Meanwhile, real Fruit is about loving God and keeping his words according to the new testament (John 14:15 or John 15:14). That's how to be sure we're not mere followers of great men of our time.

"Let no fruit grow on you ever again." Immediately the fig tree withered away." Matt.21.19

That's serious... We surely don't want that to happen so we've got to wake up...

May we get Mercy and Grace, and not get cursed

It's not necessarily about speaking in tongues or any special gifts. It may not even be about doing good works in church; having humble appearance or speech; preaching or evangelizing.

The mark of the Holy spirit is about the Fruits, not just the gifts of the Spirit. Jesus did say many who exercised great gifts would come in the last day and he'd say to them, "I never knew you, away to Hell!". Matt. 7: 21-23

For instance, the mark of an evil spirit is it makes its victim evil; also the mark of The Holy Spirit is to make a person Holy (again, not necessarily about speaking in tongues, prophesy, etc).

Paul said, "I wish you all spoke in tongues" (1 Cor. 14:5). Which means not all have the gift, and he said the gift of prophecy (to speak in such a way to encourage others) is greater, and it should be more desired.

Hence, the mark of the Holy spirit is to make us Holy in fellowship with Christ. He gives us power to fight and overcome sin. If we truly have the Holy spirit, he'll lead us to hate sin and worldliness.

He'd teach us to Love: loving even our enemies or unlovable people. And to bring glory to God in all things we do. We would start loving what God loves, and hate what He hates.

So if we're not repenting and turning away from the false glory of the world which is rooted in pride, the love of money and sinful pleasures, then we surely don't have the Spirit yet, or we're probably backsliding gradually. And then we need to wake up and get right before Him on time.

May the Lord bless you.

Are you proud of yourself as a sheep in 2024?

Well, I seek grace to be part of the good sheep—faking it as common in contemporary church today is a proper way to waste time... Done with that...

FRANCISTOWN:

Go and tell this to your politicians

I couldn't choose between a lion and a bear so I've never voted for anyone. Even at uni back then, our class gov. got super red with me cos I didn't vote for him to become the department president or something...

I could only vote for sheep, but none are His sheep. A sheep can't afford being a politician. Or else he's just a wolf in sheep's clothing.


God bless

FRANCISTOWN:

Baba, your experience is not others experience. This is not a religious section. Go and post your Bible verse somewhere else.

Friend, you need not read it either. It might be useful for others who wish to think anyway.

The truth is still that we'll have to reap what we sow—whether we like it or not, it won't change anything... I can even give it to anyone in writing with my signature, in fact...
Cos it's a universal rule God's put in place in life or death...

It also says the wages of sin is death...

God bless.

And about church, well, it might interest you that I've not been regular at common organized church for about 10 years now (since 2014) due to common church corruption around.

At my new area, I saw one along the road a while ago I planned to check just yesterday. And I think they know what they're doing, so I'll try again next Sunday before I commit more or not...


God bless

Sapasenator:


Nothing like that bro.

I have seen lots of very evil people live full lives and very good people having tragedies with lives cut short. You think this way because you probably are a church or mosque goer and have been inundated with particular messages over an extended period of time. In my world, that is called religious brain-washing and it tends to make people believe things without tangible proofs. I do not subject myself to that and have taken time to truly study events around me.

Ok bro... I was only trying to spare you. If you knew the type of person I was, you might be tempted to rethink. Even my old mates are still rather shock with my sudden change since 2010.


No problem then. Continue to do wrong if you want. I just pray God gives you room for a second chance like me — not everyone gets the opportunity, though. But if he does, you may want keep me in your testimony in future.

God tries the easy way but we wouldn't listen... But the hard way (like mine), which is the second chance is not always guaranteed for everybody...

And remember, you're chatting with someone who was once like you but later got a first-hand experience.

The thing is people do have to get Ripen for judgement before they see—after warming up for sometime.

Ecclesiastes 8:11 ►
King James Bible

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Romans 12:19
King James Version
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; "I will repay", saith the Lord.

◄ Proverbs 11:21 ►
New International Version
Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.

Revelation 22:11 ►

New International Version
Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy

Galatians 6:7
King James Version
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.


◄ Hebrews 10:31 ►
New Living Translation
It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

It is when calamities hit that people start shouting or blaming God. Not knowing why he allows such...

Be warned, friend. I'm not selling anything. From experience, I can only warn you out of love... Go and ask people in present calamities right now Deep Questions... They'll tell you if they're kind enough...

Will you stop married ladies from going after single guys? I do not see anything wrong in going after married ladies, it is her duty to safeguard her marriage not mine.

Karma?

Wtf is that?

Does not exist or a poor man's consolation.

Nothing like karma bro.

Bro, what they call karma, I call it God's judgement. It's very real. I thought I got away with lots of trash many years in sec sch. and all, but when it hit, to my shock I wasn't smart at all...

Praise Jesus he gave me another chance when I sought him for help in my calamity. So I repented of my pride and selfishness and now I'm born again...

May the Lord help you to understand before it's late, bro...

EreluRoz:
I used to be a staunch church goer but gradually lost interest and always find one excuse or the other not to attend church service.

I actually lost interest when a certain young pastor was on my neck to date him, so it got to a point I had to stop attending service and ever since I've not been able to pick up.

How do I reawaken the zeal?

Well, sis... I'd say if you aren't a born again child of God yet, please don't bother looking for another. Going to many organized churches is a waste of time.

But once you come to the realization of repentance and obedience to Jesus words in the new testament, then God can lead you to go to the right place.

God bless

Yes it has

Period... In your shoes I would just love them privately and then ignore them openly—for the sake of peace at least...

Kobojunkie:
This upside-down delusion of religion makes it hard to reason sensibly with religious minds. Here you have boldly rejected, back-to-back mind you, many of the declarations made by the person of Jesus Christ, the one who is the light of God. Yet, you continue to insist that regardless of it all you are of Him. Are you for real? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, take care.

May Jesus bless you.

Kobojunkie:
I am not a Christian. Instead, I am a follower of Jesus Christ, the one whom I instead hunger for. The Blessings of Jesus Christ are not as spoken by you and your religionist groups who add words to his mouth, but are rather as stipulated in His Law.

Friend, I see your point. But are you absolutely sure the light you have is not darkness as Jesus said. You don't sound to follow the real Jesus to me. Well, God knows all...

May God give us light...

Kobojunkie:
Who the ** are those?

Well, you may value them when you become truly hungry... You don't even sound like a true christian for now.

Take care...

May Jesus bless you.

Kobojunkie:
There are no true prophets out there either.

There are... Just that they're very few, of course ... Check men like bro Gbile Akanni, Zac poonen, etc...

By the way, how old are you if you don't mind?
You sound so matured.
I wish you all the best🙏

Is this a joke or what?

It's not... I've been doing diy solar since around 2016/2017, and I'm strictly on solar at the moment—never invited an installer. I buy stuff and install myself... I started with using direct panels to charge phones and a powerbank via a car charger. Later graduated to PWM, and now with MPPT...

Peace

I seriously need the practical aspect

Ok then... Sounds like you've seen lots of practical videos already... That's fine then...

Newspaper job you resume earlier...

Factory work ,will never do it no matter what they pay.
Except I just want to learn a skill..

Please I need someone to tell me a place I can learn solar panel installation..

You can try YouTube and google for a start...

It happened a couple of times... The demands were too much than I could handle, or the employers weren't just very serious enough...

That's how one idiot told his friend "Should people still be feeding you at this age?"

Hmmm... Well, one major bad thing about such is if they seem quite comfortable or easy in such situation... And not showing bof wanting to move on... But that's not to justify the act of looking down on them.

hookupagent1:
I really need help, I need a job, or where to learn a skill or trade but I don't have much on me to sustain me or where to live. It making me depressed as I haven't gotten any solution yet to My problem

Friend, my advice is start seeking God's face first. Even some with high paying jobs are more depressed than you. Getting a job is not the end depression except God's face is on one's life generally.

If you're willing—and not proud, greedy and impatient —he can simply help you to start small and grow gradually—speaking from experience.

He says seek first His Kingdom and "others" will be "added.

He allows situations to remind us that we need Him. It's even dangerous to find those things first... Remember the story of the rich fool...

May Jesus bless you
