YOUR TITHE, YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE: an open letter to the CHRISTIAN
Dear Christian, The issue of tithe and tithing came heavy as a burden on me two days ago. I had to wake up very early to check out some of the scriptures that were laid on my hearts. The scripture is Leviticus 27:30-32. I don’t know why, but since I heard that testimony of the man that asked God to take 90% of his earnings and give him only/retain only 10%, I have been wondering why some people have such benefits/measure of faith. Then as if that was not enough I was listening to and watching Dr Richard Roberts (Oral Roberts's son) on Television when he shared three things that his Dad taught him that changed his life. 1. God is our only source 2. Plant your seed with focus 3. Expect a miracle. It became clear that God was saying something. Considering the LAF meeting on Sunday and the nature of our contributions, it occurred to me more than ever that I have a responsibility of advising you of the nature and warn you of the dangers and consequences of unfa
Always better to avoid domestic violence
ReplyDeleteThere are some spouses that they understand only correction through domestic violence
NO, THERE CANNOT BE AN EXCUSE FOR THIS BEHAVIOUR BUT MAY GOD NOT LET US COME ACROSS A 'PAMI N KU' WOMAN.
The man is always responsible for the state of the home
The woman is always responsible for the state of the home
They are both responsible equally
They are responsible 60 to the man and 40 to the woman vice versa
ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY LIES WITH THE MAN, BUT HIS ABILITY TO DELEGATE RESPONSIBILITY AND FOR THE WIFE TO TAKE UP RESPONSIBILITY LIES ON THE HUSBAND'S OWN ABILITY TO LOVE SELFLESSLY (AND SUBMISSION ON HIS PART TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF LOVE)
Always better to be married
Always better to be married with kids
Always better not to have girlfriends
Always better to have wife as confidants
Always better for man to look after wife and children
I AGREE WITH THE POINTS MADE HERE AND I CANNOT ARGUE AGAINST ANY OF THEM BUT I DISAGREE WITH THE GIRLFRIEND BIT SLIGHTLY. IT MAY NOT BE CALLED GIRLFRIEND, BUT COURTSHIP IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. WE MAY NOT CALL IT BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND, BUT THERE MUST BE A PERIOD OF COURTSHIP. THE LENGTH OF THAT IS A DIFFERENT MATTER.
Always better to resist outside influence on your marriage
I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE LETTER OF THIS POINT, BUT I AGREE WITH THE SPIRIT OF IT. A FIGURE OF AUTHORITY IN THE MARRIAGE WHOM BOTH PARTIES HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR IS HELPFUL TO DOUSE TENSION AND DEAL WITH ISSUES FAIRLY. ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY IS A CLARION CALL FOR WAHALA.
Always better in marriage for couple to have unrestrained sexual relationship...no headache or other spurious excuses.
THIS WOULD BE A STATE OF EURECHA AND I DO NOT THINK THERE IS ONE MARRIAGE THAT DOES NOT DEAL WITH THIS AS A PROBLEM EVERY NOW AND THEN. LOVING 100% AND SUBMITTING 100% IS TESTED TO ITS METTLE HERE.
Always better to try oral sex, masturbation and the likes if couple dont have good sexual relationship
WHAT A COUPLE DOES IN THE 4 CORNERS OF ITS ROOM SHOULD BE UP TO THAT COUPLE AND I THINK IF THE OBJECT OF DESIRE IS THE WIFE OR HUSBAND, GOOD LUCK TO THEM. HAVING SAID THESE, BOTH PARTIES MUST BE COMFORTABLE WITH THE ACT THEY INDULGE IN. I KNOW SOME WILL SAY SO IF THEY ARE PRACTICING BEASTIALITY AND INCEST NKO? WELL THAT WOULD BE BREAKING THE LAW OF MEN AND GOD (PRONTO)
Always better to have a time table for sex. NO, THAT IN ITSELF IS AN INDULGENCE THAT SHOULD NOT BE ENCOURAGED. WHY CREATE A TIME TABLE FOR SOMETHING WHICH GOD HAS CREATED TO SOOTHE, COMFORT AND ENJOY? NO NEED FOR SUCH INDULGENCE.
Always better for the man to go out with wife and children regularly
ReplyDeleteAlways better for the man to stay at home after work including on Fridays and weekends
VERY TRICKY THIS ONE AS I DO NOT DO THE FIRST ONE ENOUGH (ALMOST AT ALL) AND I KNOW IT IS WRONG BECAUSE EVERY NOW AND THEN THAT WE TEND TO GO OUT AS A FAMILY AND HAVE FAMILY TIME I KNOW MY SON IS HAPPIER FOR IT AND MY WIFE IS ALSO SAYING WE SHOULD DO THIS MORE OFTEN. I WOULD BE VERY HYPOCRITICAL TO TALK ON THIS ONE.
Always better for the wife to be a good cook
I THINK IT IS BETTER IF ONE OF THE PARTIES IS A GOOD COOK. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE WIFE.
Always better for the wife to keep to the original size(u know what I mean) or at least show evidence of wanting to keep to the original size
VERY RELATIVE AS THIS IS DOWN TO THE PREFERENCE OF THE SPOUSE (METHINKS)
Always better to have joint account, each spouse can then have separate accounts
NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT THERE HAS TO BE ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE IN ONE ANOTHER AND THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ACCOUNT MUST HAVE A HIGH SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY. SINCE IT IS A JOINT ACCOUNT, MAY I ADD THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THERE IS JOINT ACCESS TOO.
Always better to invest together
NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, WHILE THERE MUST BE ENOUGH ROOM FOR BOTH PARTIES TO STILL DO THEIR THING.
Always better for the woman and the man in marriage to be trendy
ANOTHER DANGEROUS ONE IN MY OPINION (VERY DANGEROUS!). A TOPIC FOR ANOTHER DAY AS IT IS A PANDORA BOX.
Always better for the wife to stop nagging. NAGGING CANNOT BE A GOOD THING. IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT IN THE LEGITIMACY OF YOUR ARGUMENT THEN SURELY YOU MUST BE PATIENT TO LET THE SUPERIOR ARGUMENT WIN.
Always better for the couple to share a kiss first thing in morning and last thing at night
WOULD BE NICE, BUT THEN YOU BOTH RUN THE RISK OF BEING 'ELEREGBE', LIKE MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD SAY.
Always better for couples to talk and listen to each other. SURELY THIS WOULD BE IN THEIR INTEREST. YOU CANNOT SOLVE A PROBLEM IF ITS TRAPPED INSIDE YOUR MINDS
Always better for couples to disagree to agree
SOMETIMES IT IS AND WHERE THIS IS THE CASE, THEN IT MEANS SUCH A RELATIONSHIP IS HEALTHY WHERE EACH INDIVIDUAL STILL MAINTAINS THEIR INDIVIDUALITY AND NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE UNION (MARRIAGE)
Always better for couples to resolve disagreement before they sleep at night
SURE, BUT HERE I HAVE FAILED WOEFULLY AS A MAN.
Always better for the couple to accept 'sorry' after a misbehaviour, and let it end there
WOULDN'T THIS BE NICE?
Always better for the man to love and the woman to submit unconditionally
Always better for the man to say I love you regularly, and the woman to say I love you regularly.
WOULDN'T THIS BE NICE TOO?
Always better for couples to share one faith and prayer in that faith together and if both are people without faith to comply with moral laws
TO SHARE THE SAME FAITH? YES, BUT LAWS OF MORALTY ARE RELATIVE AND SINCE IT IS RELATIVE AND THEY COME FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE REGULAR WAHALA REARS ITS HEAD (TRUST ME ON THIS SIR). HOW ABOUT IT IS BEST FOR BOTH PARTIES TO BE TRUE CHRISTIANS. I KNOW CHRISTIANS WITH X NUMBER OF WIVES.
Like wine, marriage vintages with time
There are some marriages that are not made in heaven
THE INSTITUTION WAS MADE IN HEAVEN BUT NOT ALL MARRIAGES ARE MADE IN HEAVEN. I THINK WHEN SUCH EXIST, THEY END UP IN MURDER OR DIVORCE.
There are some marriages that are bound to fail.
'ILE TI A FI ITO MO, IRI NI O MA WO' (YES I MEAN)
Akika...welldone, I have to say you are the first to break the barriers of these posers. I am thinking you are coming up to be like the teacher. Kare...
