STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
CONCERNING FIRST FRUITS AND FAMILY COMMITTMENT
Kindly post my chronicles as i'm in a state of confusion and needs the advise of Bvs. Please ignore the typos and keep me anonymous.
I'm from a family of 3 kids and i'm the 2nd. I was actually born with a silver spoon but along the line i lost my dad and things turned around. My mum tried her best to train all three of us in a private university. My elder sister got a job and was doing quite well for herself and the family as a single girl until she got married. She got married to her childhood friend who lived close to the quarters we stayed. Thing turned around after marriage. They rented a house and moved in. Me on the other side finished school and things turned out well for me too i got a job.
My sister stopped working during her eighth month of pregnancy as her company started facing financial challenges and couldn't pay the staff. Her husband's business on the other side started shaking, few months after the arrival of the baby they were practically managing. Cars were sold.This was my sister that used to be envy of her peers as she was the high class girl.
I took over the responsibility of taking care of the baby. Pampers oo, baby food, clothes name them all was on my head, her husband if i'm not mistaken could only provide meals for them.
My mother who came for Omogu and few days for her to go back to her base, guess what struck her? Partial Stroke! Where do we start from, My sister no work, husband- hustler with no money, i took up that responsibility. Hospital bills and the therapist who took care of her all was my head, mind you i'm just 25 years.
During last summer hols as my nephew turned two, i registered him for classes and he loved it this prompted me to register him in a school this January in the state where my mum lives as whenever he wakes up he cries he wants to go to school.
September last year, i wanted to pay for my rent but there was this guy who said that he was selling a job, i used my rent to pay for the job for my sister which was a scam. I opened a small shop for her close to her house where she sells things and I moved in with her temporally since i couldn't pay my rent.
That was the greatest mistake of my life. Few days into the house, I lost my job, This was the job that our oyibo's in London has agreed to extend my contract with better pay all of a sudden i was told that my last day was 28TH October. I cried out my heart this didn't finish settling my small car that i was managing was stolen. Where was all these coming from? My former boss called me and told me that sometimes when it rains it pours. I cried.
My sister, her family, my mother and my bro who is doing his masters in London were all depending on me. I went to my pastor in MFM,( I stopped going to church since i finished school not until one day in August that i offended my mum and the only way i could make her happy was to surprise her and visit her church.since that day i became a member. ) My pastor told me, that compound you are staying is an evil compound. I was shocked we prayed and that was when i recounted what has been happening.
Stella do you know that ever my sister moved into that house the only thing working is their television, freezer and fan. Ac within months parked up, Generator parked up, car everything. Kitchen light has never been on. We discussed it and i told them that i was leaving. I got a loan from friends and paid for six months self contain.
Two days after moving out from there i got a job in the first week of December. Though not as juicy as the former one but we could breathe from there. My sister traveled to where my mother stays immediately i got my job and swore never to return to that house until her husband moves out their things. They have even sold their chair and some properties.
My dilemma right now is that i know that there is no how her husband will be able to raise money for them to get a new place cos it looks like nothing good will happen living in that compound. He called me few days ago and asked if i could borrow him money to pay for a smaller apartment. I don't have spare cash i only have the money that i want to use as my first fruit offering which i'm tying into my marriage and a better job.

Do i give it to him as a seed for my first fruit offering?
I just feel sorry for them, cos the more they live there the more i am responsible for them.
What do you think?
Please I need good advise and not insults.
Thanks.
Story for d gods.. this window dis merciful god shut cos he hasn't received his alert is baffling i must say..please anybody fit make am, whether a tither, non tither, seed sower, no seed sower, etc..with all d seeds nd first fruits christians have been givin in Nigeria, things r still worse off dan countries like japan nd dose asian countries practising pure paganism..Humanity shd always cme first b4 any religion.. jst check successful countries nd u will c how much attention they give to social welfare packages 4 der citizens..if christians tithed this 10% nd seeds nd fruits to a central account that takes care of d citizens, Nigerians would have been well off. But instead unaccountable accounts siphon tis monies and return jst a piecemeal back to d society nd we r happy wit dat.
ReplyDeleteDear Poster,pray to God and the holy spirit will direct you.God bless you Amen
ReplyDeletePoster, whatever decision u make is up to you. But just know that this your sense of responsibility with your siblings except your parents has to be in check. Reality is that you are not indispensible, take it or leave it. Even if u don't give him the money, your in law will still get solution and when you need help after you must have helped them, stories will arise na so dem dey do. Use wisdom and start building your own financial foundation for your own rainy day o. You can give your seed to God and he opens doors for you and your family or you give to man and get man/men's reward.
ReplyDeleteU can pay your first fruit later, it's not compulsory it's your first salary for d year
ReplyDeletePlease help the needy around you. Even God would approve.
ReplyDeleteIt's YOU God will punish. You abusive pig from a tribe of swines. What's your business if I fornicate? Is it your vagina? Fulani brown goat. I've said my own oh. If you like don't say your own be there punishing your generations unborn.
ReplyDeletedo not touch your first fruit. Put into an envelope and seal it. Your first fruit is not yours but God. So you can't steal from your creator or led it to another person and expect the best. I would begin asking friends to borrow more money and look into an area that is within the sum you raise. If not, your brother in law should think about going back to your mom's house and starting over. We all fall down but we get back up.
ReplyDeleteOmG. POSTER I AM JUST SEEING THIS and I hope am not late for you to read this.God greatest commandments is Love your neighbor as I have loved you and it was not listed with the 10 commandment. Please with your heary ... HELP HIM... that's your first fruit offering and God will definitely bless you . TRUST me! There are people in my church that will come out and donate 1m some 2m but ask the same people for 10k to help your life. They will never give you. Giving out with your heart is your FIRST FRUIT OFFERING TO GOD. you will feel guilty somewhat when you still see him suffering knowing you could have helped him. Ask yourself if you were GOD would you be impressed someone gave you offering when the person could have helped someone that needs it.And we know the GOD WE SERVE... HELPING NEIGHBOURS,are ways of offertory to GOD. have you heard this song? "What so ever you do to the lest of MY brothers that you do unto ME"

ReplyDeleteThank you annon for trying to help out. Here is my details though (002) 942-1440-Accessbank. God bless.
ReplyDeleteKpele o Mother Theresa. You better give your first fruit offering to God who enabled you to get another job and leave your Sister to fight her battles. Doesn't the husband have friends or relatives he could go and meet? Abeg you have tried enough for them face your own life from now on.
ReplyDeleteSome of you Nigerians are very very mean,unable carry church for head but your hearts are desperately wicked. Which first fruit and which church? Who is the church, you all think it's a building? The church is every soul, poster help your brother in-law so that God will make u someone's daughter and sister in-law someday,that's my prayer for you. You want to go and give those greedy pastors ur money, I laugh you, give your brother in-law the money job,and see us God won't bless you.his need is the first fruit, you hear. Thank you in advance.
ReplyDeleteGive the money to him. I don't usually comment but I had to. I helped someone on this blog and the Lord is my witness...the next week I got a high paying contact role after close to 3 months of no contract. You can always show the first fruits later.
ReplyDeleteYou are contemplating paying 'first fruit' to a pastor that would obviously use the money to feed his family... When your family is in need. Receive sense please... GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER. What you do to the least of your brothers you have done unto God.
