OUR SERVICE FOR 24/2/25-CASE STUDY:

Not until I came to London, and attended a College, and later, did a part-time University Course; I had never heard of `CASE STUDY`. So for those who may not be familiar with that phrase, we apologise, and think you will understand it, by the time we conclude this Article.

I had opportunities to work in various field of employments in life, especially during my working-period in London, and that gave me a wonderful time to meet, or deal with people from all walks of life. That too, gave me the opportunities to SEE, OR STUDY THE VARIOUS ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOURAL PART OF DIFFERENT HUMAN LIFE. At the beginning of that opportunities, I took my frequent job changes, as a disappointment, especially if the job I got was interesting, and I was happy to keep it for long. But if that ended sooner than I wanted it, I became sad, although it would not be long, I would get another one, and it might be far better than the previous one. One of the times that such case took place, was when I was asked to help the company out, ONCE IN THREE WEEKS, WORKING ON SUNDAYS. When I applied for the job, there was no such condition, but as they ran out of staff after some months, they might have thought that, maximizing the use of the existing staff, was better than employing new ones. After a while, I had to leave the company, for NOTHING WOULD MAKE ME COMPROMISE SUNDAY, THE DAY OF THE LORD, FOR ANY WORLDLY GAIN! Different issues and problems, even including SUFFICIENT TIME TO BE AT HOME WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN(then), MOVED ME FROM ONE JOB TO THE OTHER. Today, such movement has helped me to know, almost all areas in London, including the character of many individuals. Establishing my own Charity Work, alongside my partime paid employment then, opens even additional opportunity for me to know more about human diverse character, as most of my employments, involved dealing with the public. When I ended my paid-employment era, to have more time to concentrate on my CHARITY WORK, I began to use quite a lot of the knowledge about human character, to manage the Organisation. I had/have to be extra careful with anyone I may come in contact with-watching out in silence first, when I come across someone’s path! The summary is, you may see the face, and the whole physical figure of someone, and think he or she is just another human being; but you might not be many hours with the same person, before you discover that, THERE IS SOMETHING QUITE WRONG WITH THE PERSON-MENTALLY.  I had worked in an AUTISTIC ENVIRONMENT before, and for years. Some of the sufferers, get the very mild side of the disease, that you may be with them for more than an hour, before you notice the disease is in them. But if you have no such experience before, it can take more days to know there is something wrong. You may think the person is just NATURALLY, STUPID, not knowing that, it is not his or her fault. Now, let us begin our CASE STUDY WITH, AUTISM(AUTISTIC SUFFERERS).

Remember, many or all of the sufferers, were born like that, and sometimes, even the medical professionals, cannot diagnose the symptom, until the child is about two years.  But why would God be so discriminative in His Human Creation, that some people are born perfect in health, and in INTELLECT? HIM, does not know the full answer to that question, but the little we know, we are going to share with you here. First example is in the Bible. ISAAC, was Abraham’s son, whom God Promised him for about 25years before that Promise Came to Fulfilment. Abraham was a `FRIEND` to God, because God Said that, Abraham had FAITH in Him. Abraham obeyed God and God decided to End his childlessness, someday. Abraham was over 90YEARS(or so) old, without a child from his wife, Sara. Abraham was a VERY RICH man, but just like any other human being who is desperate for ONE PARTICULAR THING, BUT CANT GET IT; we believe Abraham might have felt that, his life was incomplete without a child of his own. God Later Blessed Abraham with Isaac, in his old age, and Abraham called the son, ISAAC!  ISAAC later married REBECCA, and she conceived. God Revealed to Isaac that, `TWO NATIONS` WERE IN THE WOMB OF HIS WIFE, REBECCA. God Revealed also the names of the two nations-the two sons that were in Rebecca’s womb. One was called, ESAU, and the other was called, JACOB. God Said of the two of them; ‘ESAU, I HATE, JACOB, I LOVE` Remember that these twin-Esau and Jacob, were still in the womb when God decided that, He Would HATE ESAU, but LOVE Jacob! You may want to confirm with us, the reason for God’s HATRED TO UNBORN ESAU, AND HIS LOVE FOR THE UNBORN JACOB. The reason was that, God, THE OMNISCIENT, Who SEES THE END OF ANYTHING, FROM THE BEGINNING, Had Seen and Known that, ESAU, WOULD NOT LOVE GOD, BUT JACOB, WOULD! Before Isaac, the father to this twin boys, died, he had to pronounce his blessings on these boys. As the manner of the Jewish people was, Isaac might have wanted to bless Esau first, because Esau was the first born-first to come out of the womb. That meant that, the first-born normally got more blessings from the father. But `MISTAKENLY`, Isaac, BLESSED JACOB FIRST, AND POURED OUT ALL THE BLESSINGS THAT ESAU COULD HAVE RECEIVED, ON JACOB. SO THERE WAS ALMOST NO MORE BLESSING LEFT FOR ESAU. Isaac did that because he was stricken with old age, and HIS EYES WERE DIM-HE DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS NOT ESAU THAT HE MEANT TO BLESS. Human being may call that, MISTAKE, BUT THE BIBLE MAY CALL IT, `GOD’S PERFECT PLAN FOR JACOB, WHOM GOD LOVED FROM THE WOMB`! The Bible Says that, `GOD KNOWETH HOW TO DELIVER THE RIGHTEOUS OUT OF TEMPTATION, BUT RESERVES THE UNJUST MAN, UNTO THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT, TO BE PUNISHED`. Jacob, later became an Obedient child to God of His Father, Abraham, and God Used him to Fulfil The Promise that He Made to Abraham that, `THE WHOLE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED BECAUSE OF ABRAHAM`. Jesus Christ, The Saviour Of The World, Was Born Through The Lineage Of Jacob! God Knew you right from the womb, and what you MAY COME TO CHOOSE TO DO, WHEN YOU GROW UP. With Such Knowledge, He may Start TO PUT THINGS IN ORDER, AND  FOR YOUR FAVOUR IN THE FAR FUTURE-SHAPING YOUR WAY, TO FIT INTO WHAT THAT YOUR CHOICE MAY BE.

Let’s look at a different scenario, where God Can Intervene in that your future choice, by providing you with LESSONS, AND EXPERIENCES, which could help you CHANGE YOUR MIND, AND CHOOSE TO DO GOOD, SO AS TO BE BLESSED BY HIM. HE DOESN’T FORCE ANYBODY TO CHOOSE GOOD, OR CHOOSE TO SERVE HIM. BUT HE CAN DO WHAT HE DID TO BELSHAZZAR. Belshazzar was the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar, who was blessed by God in all earthly pomp. But he did not fear God, nor gave God the Glory for what God Gave to Him. He was a great king, in a great kingdom of Babylon, the beauty of the world then was on him. God Gave him long time to repent, but he didn’t. One day, as he was walking around his palace and admiring the beauty of the kingdom that he was ruling over, he boasted and said, `IS THIS NOT, BABYLON, THE KINGDOM THAT MY HANDS HAVE MADE(I am not quoting it word to word, that is why I am using single quotation marks)`? Nebuchadnezzar’s boastful statement, got instantly Interrupted by God, as God Condemned him of his PRIDE, and Told him that, he was due to go to LIVE IN THE BUSH AS AN ANIMAL, WITH OTHER ANIMALS. Shortly after that Voice that he heard, his BRIAN AND KNOWLEDGE, LEFT HIM! HE, A WHOLE KING, BEGAN TO ACT LIKE AN ANIMAL BEFORE HIS OFFICERS. The people might not have heard when God Pronounced this ANIMALISTIC new life to Nebuchadnezzar, but everyone knew the only place fit for him at that time, was BUSH, TO MEET WITH HIS OTHER ANIMALS. After a long time, may be some years in that bush, God decided to Give him a SECOND CHANCE, and He Endued him with, may be, a little SENSE, just enough for him to realise that he was NO MORE IN THE BEAUTIFUL PALACE HE ONCE BOASTED ABOUT! By this time, his body, hair and nails, had become like those of his new neighbours-THE BUSH ANIMALS! Nebuchadnezzar immediately recognised that, his new animalistic lifestyle, came from God, AS PUNISHMENT FOR HIS LONG TIME SINS! THAT IS WHAT IS SERIOUSLY LACKING TODAY ON EARTH-REALISATION OF THE CAUSE OF PROBLEM THAT SOMEONE MAY SUDDENLY START RECEIVING, AFTER HE OR SHE HAS OR HAD COMMITTED SIN! NEBUCHANEZZAR REPENTED, CALLED ON GOD FOR FORGIVNESS, AND HUMBLED HIMSELF! God, AS HIS NATURE IS, Forgave him, Cleaned him up, and RETURNED HIM TO HIS PALACE/ HIS KINGDOM, TO CONTINUE HIS KINGSHIP; THIS TIME, WITH THE FEAR OF GOD IN HIS HEART, TO REPLACE HIS PRIDE! HE BEGAN TO PRAISE GOD, AND DECLARED ALL THROUGH HIS KINGDOM, THAT THE GOD ALMIGHTY THAT DWELLETH IN HEAVEN ABOVE, IS THE ONLY GOD TO BE WORSHIPPED!!! Frankly, I see his punishment, as a way to help him escaped the worse than a life in the bush, WHICH IS SPENDING ETERNITY, ROASTING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE! Unfortunately, Belshazzar, his grandson, did not learn a good LESSON that his grandfather’s PRIDE, taught him, although he knew about what the grandfather suffered from God, because of PRIDE! He too became a king, dinning and CELLEBRATING with his lords, every now and then. One day, after being DRUNK with strong drink, he ORDERED THAT THE DEDICATED VESSELS THAT HIS FATHER SEIZED FROM JERUSALEM AND BROUGHT TO BABYLON; Belshazzar, drank more strong wine with that God’s CONSECRATED CUP. Whilst the Cup was still on his lips, God Spoke! Belshazzar saw a Hand Writing on the wall, but he did not know the Interpretation to what was Written. Daniel, a child of God and a Jewish in Captivity in Babylon, was the only person who knew the interpretation of the writing. No other person, not even other Jews that were there, could interpret. Because Daniel once helped to solve problem of dream interpretation, during the reign of the previous king, the king now ordered that Daniel be brought before the king. Daniel interpreted the writing to the king that, THE KING WAS TO DIE THAT NIGHT. That night, the whole country WAS INVADED by their enemy from another country, AND THE KING WAS KILLED! But why did the king not be Given Second time as was the Case of his grandfather! I believe it is the same reason that the Bible Says that, `JUDGEMENT WILL BEGIN IN THE HOUSE OF GOD`. Every Christian Church, KNOWS THE GOOD TO DO, TO PLEASE GOD. EACH SELF-PROCLAIMED CHRISTIAN, KNOWS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND WHAT IS EXPECTED OF EACH CHRISTIAN. Failure to PRACTICE those Commanments, is a DIRECT REBELLION AGAINST GOD. So also it is with anybody who is Blessed to know, hear and have access to the knowledge of the GOOD things that God Wants him or her to know and TO PRACTICE. If you GAIN not from that KNOWLEDGE, your punishment may be more serious than one who doesn’t know those GOOD THINGS TO DO, yet. God Does not judge and Condemn someone who doesn’t know THE GOOD to do; He Judges and Condemn those who know THE RIGHT TO DO, BUT DO THE OPPOSITE.

Last CASE STUDY is going to centre on individual ASSESSMENT FOR WHAT THEY CALL, BLESSING, OR UNFAVOURABLE LIFE.

Some people do not really know what a BLESSING, is. Nobody can have `the whole world`, which the Bible still Says that, having the whole world and LOSING YOUR SOUL TO HELL FIRE, WILL PROFIT THE PERSON NOTHING! REAL AND TRUE BLESSING THEN, is BEING HAPPY, BECAUSE YOU HAVE GOT THOSE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY, CONTENTED, AND WITH MEEKNESS, GIVING PRAISES TO GOD, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THOSE BLESSINGS COME TO YOU, WITHOUT YOU COMMITTING SIN, ESPECIALLY, SHEDDING BLOOD/ INNOCENT BLOOD. Even if what you have means nothing to any other person, so long what you have from God makes you happy, satisfied, and contented, you will live as the most life-achiever! Whatever those `insignificant` things are, once they INCLUDE `THE FEAR OF GOD IN YOUR HEART` THE BEST IS YET TO COME TO YOU, GRADUALLY. I have seen and met some ladies who desired to marry rich man, and `luckily`, they succeed having a rich man as husband. But few years in the marriage, trouble, and heartache, caused by the RICH MAN, drained out the SEXY BODY of those ladies-the good bodies that they went into the marriage with. Suddenly, they BECOME AS DRY AS A SKELETON, FIFETEEN YEARS OLDER THAN THEIR AGE. Surprisingly, they may remain so, UNHAPPY, SORROWFUL, AND STUCKED, yet, everyday, they FORCE out fake smiles on their faces. They deny themselves all WAYS that God May Have Been Bringing to help them LEARN, APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE, AND BRING IN REAL HAPPINESS TO THEIR LIVE. Surprisingly, Same category of this women, may INCREASE THEIR WICKEDNESS TO OTHER PEOPLE, INCLUDING TO THEMSELVES, DAILY. In doing evil to other people, ESPECIALLY TO THE PEOPLE THAT DO NOT DESERVE IT, THEY INCREASE THEIR SORROW, DAILY TOO! FROM ONE PROBLEM WHICH THEY WOULD HAVE ESCAPED, TO ANOTHER UNWELCOME PROBLEM. The Faithful Judge, Nay Allow the arrows of these wicked women or men, to hurt their victims. But God too will Use those arrows to later BRING SOMETHING GOOD, BETTER, OR EVEN BEST, YO YJESE INNOCENT VICTIM. The victim, may be among those whom God had/has been Blessing ever since they were born, and the enemy, may have nothing tangibly respected, to compare with the Blessings their victims had /has received from God, provided he or she, is In Good and healthy Heart Before God. Opposite of these unreasonable women, are other ones that Asked God to Bless them with a good man to marry. God may Answer that prayer with a `poor` man. But the little they have, THEY ENJOY TOGETHER, LIVE HEALTHILY, RICH IN LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS TOWARDS EACH OTHER. FEAR OF GOD IN THE HEART COULD HELP THEM ACHIEVE THAT; CHILDREN, IF GIVEN TO THEM, THEY JOIN HAND TOGETER TO BRING UP WITH MORALITY, IMPACTING THE FEAR OF GOD TOO, IN THEM. God for Sure will soon INCREASE THEM their Blessings, AND EXPAND THEIR COAST. With such happy and Blessed life, ACHIEVING FOR GOD, WITHIN, AND WITHOUT; LEAVING BEHIND D THEM, A GOOD NAME FOR THE WORLD TO REMEMBER; what then would any of such parents lose, if they LEAVE THIS WOLRD EALIER THAN SOMEONE LEAVING A LIFE OF SECRET SORROW, AND LEAVING SHAME BEHIND AFTER 100 LIFESPAN-ALL ALONG IN HIS OR HER WICKED LIFE NOW!

I also knew of some men, who wanted to be RICH, and finally ended up getting the riches THROUGH SINFUL WAY; BUT NEVER ENJOYED THAT EVIL MONEY WITH GENUINE SMILE ON THEIR FACES, AND NO SMILE IN THE HEART. SOME LIVED WRETCHED AND UNORGANIZED LIFE; WHILST SOME LIVED FAR SHORTER THAN THE RICHES. THEY ACCUMULATED, YET TOOK NONE OF THE RICHES, TO THE GRAVE. We advise that, you DESIRE FOR THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY GENUINELY, BECAUSE YOU ARE SURE THAT, THEY ARE FROM GOD, AS A REWARD TO THE GOOD THINGS YOU DO, TO YOURSELF, AND TO THOSE YOU MAY COME ACROSS, WHOM GOD MAY PUT IN YOUR HEAR TO HELP AS HE GIVES YOU THE GRACE. WOMEN, MEN, YOUNG AND OLD, END ALL WICKENESS, OR KEEP INVITING SORROW AND SHAME TO YOUR LIFE! LOOK BACK, AND CHECK IF YOUR BLESSING IS GOING LOWER THAN BEFORE YOU STARTED PLANNING ANS EXECUTING WICKEDNESS, ON AN INNOCENT PERSON. DON’T WAIT UNTIL DEATH, BEFORE YOU REPENT, CORRECT YOUR WAYS, BEG GOD FOR FORGIVENESS, AND IMPROVE YOUR PRESENT SITUATION. DON’T HOPE FOR THE `BLESSING` WHICH YOU MAY NEVER SUCCEED. CONTINUING IN WICKEDNESS, IS NOT A GOOD METHOD TO EXPECT BLESSING, BUT WOE!!

THE FB ARTICLE THAT WE ARE RESPONDING TO HERE, IS UNFIT TO SHOW ANY PART TO THE PUBLIC.

OUR SERVICE FOR 21/2/25.

We came across the article here, last week, or early this week, and we saved it to be used for our Service this week. The subject attracted me to stop and read. I only read the bit that is displayed here, but it looks like it has more messages than what is displayed here. I really don’t have the time to read beyond the heading of a post here, I hardly do, unless, maybe, it comes from someone I know. Even then, I hardly read beyond three lines.This particular one, attracted my attention, because the picture that came with the post, LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE I KNOW. But for our Services here, we will try not to show the poster, when using his or her post. To be able to understand this person’s message here, we would like to know what he means by, `WHAT I USED TO WANT, DISGUSTS ME NOW`. If those things were GOOD things that anybody would like to want, and they are such that the Bible Condemns NOT; then this person should be sad and worry that, he is now hating them. Not unless he came to realize that, those things were causing him problems, for example, HEALTH-WISE. If those things were things GOOD to do, But HARD to do, yet the person was struggling to keep doing them, because of The Gospel of Jesus Christ; then it would be a shame if he withdraws from doing them. He would lose his GREAT REWARD, NOT ONLY HERE ON EARTH, BUT AFTER THIS WORLD. The Bible Says that, `HE THAT ENDURETH UNTO THE END, THE SAME SHALL RECEIVE THE CROWN OF GLORY`. I can gladly assure you that, even before THAT CROWN OF GLORY, there are other Blessings here to enjoy, legitimately, sweetly, and WITH RESPECT! The Blessings here, however, is nothing to Compare With THE GLORY THAT AWAITS THE FAITHGUL OF GOD, IN HEAVEN; if he or she shall endure unto the end. But whether the Blessing here is intangible, big, or even problems, THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT, BECAUSE OF THE HOPE OF THE REAL BLESSING TO COME-THE CROWN OF GLORY! There is JOY IN KNOWING THAT, YOU ARE SERVING GOD ACCORDING TO HIS EXPECTATION ON YOU. `Thou Good and Faithful Servant, Enter thou now INTO THE JOY OF THY LORD`, will be your Reward from Jesus, according to the Bible! Naturally, if someone is CHASING something that he or she knows that, after getting such a thing, his or her life will be CHANGED FOR GOOD, AND FOR LIFE, that person may not mind the STRUGGLE, SHAME, HEARTACHE, LABOUR, AND RESOURCES SPENT, INCLUDING MONEY AND LOSS OF RESPECT; WHILST CHASING SUCH A THING. But our advice here is that, NEVER CHASE ANYTHING OF THIS WORLD SO BLINDLY, WITH ALL WHAT YOU HAVE AT THE PRESENT THAT, YOU IGNORE CERTAIN QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF! Never Give a 100% HOPE for anything that is not ALREADY IN YOUR HANDS-AT YOUR REACH. Even if you have a 99% success in view, still pause after  a certain time and ask the following questions:

BEFORE YOU EVEN BEGIN TO CHASE THAT THING;

It looks a good thing to chase, and has a good prospect, BUT DOES MY CONSCIENCE CONDEMN ME FOR CHASING IT? IS THERE ANYTHING SINFUL IN HAVING MY GOAL, IF I SUCCEED? WILL I EVEN SUCCEED? WILL THE SUCCESS COME UNLESS I SHED AN INNOCENT BLOOD OR COMMIT OUTRAGIOUS SIN? WHAT WILL I LOSE AS I WILL BE CHASING THIS GOAL? HOW ABOUT SPENDING A LOT OF THINGS, THE ONES I PERCEIVE NOW, AND THE ONES I MAY NOT SEE NOW; YET, AT THE END OF IT, I DO NOT STILL ACHIEVE MY GOAL? WHAT ABOUT LIFE, I DON’T KNOW WHEN I WILL DIE, WHAT IF I DIE WHILST CHASING? Well, although I don’t believe in what the Bible Says that, JESUS CAN COME ANY TIME, AND THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE DESTROYED; HOW ABOUT IF IT IS TRUE, AND IT HAPPENS WHILST I HAVE WASTED ALL THE GOOD THINGS I SHOULD BE ENJOYING, WHILST CHASING? Now, if you are in doubt of what to answer yourself, DROP YOUR KNEES ON THE FLOOR AND BEG GOD TO GIVE YOU THE CORRECT ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS. You don’t have to be a Christian, but if you honestly want God to Help you, HE WILL SPEAK TO YOUR CONSCIENCE. If you listen and do as He Advises you, YOU WILL ENJOY THE OUTCOME. But if your mind still wants you to go chasing, the decision is yours. Then you go in..

After chasing for ONE DAY, NO CATCH, TWO DAYS, NO CATCH, TWO MONTHS, NOTHING, FIVE, SIX….then.. SEVEN, is too LONG TO CONTINUE. STOP AND ask yourself again:

Am I still on the right TRACK?( Try to reconcile the account-how much you have lost yet, including your respect). If I stop here, can I cover up before people around me who might not yet know about my pursuit? If I turn to God at this moment, will He forgive me and SHOW ME A BETTER AND PROFITABLE THING TO CHASE, INSTEAD? WILL HE HELP ME SUCCEED? I have already lost a lot, but since I have now repented, Can He Help me RECOVER? Let us quickly answer you the last batch of the questions. YES, IT WILL BE BETTER FOR YOU THAN CONTINUING IN YOUR OLD PURSUIT, IF GOD IS CONDEMNING YOU THROUGH YOUR CONSCIENCE. SO, STOP HERE, OR YOU SHOULD HAVE STOPPED, THERE, OR EVEN BEFORE THEN! If Satan’s voice is still overwhelming the SOFT AND GENTLE VOICE OF GOD’s Spirit, and you still want to keep chasing your goal, ask yourself the last question: HOW LONG MORE DO I HAVE TO CHASE JUST ONE THING, BEFORE MY HEART IS AT REST? If you keep chasing one THING without getting the RIGHT ANSWER FROM GOD TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO ON; IF YOU ARE DOING SO OUT OF YOUR OWN IDEA, AND IT HAS TAKEN YOU TWO YEARS, FOUR, TEN, TWENTY(like a few people I know has CHASED ONE THING FOR THAT NUMBER OF YEARS AND MORE…COUNTING); if you are in the categories of people above, believe it or not, SATAN, IS IN FULL CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE, TO HARM YOU, SERIOUSLY, IF HE HAS NOT ALREADY DONE SO. Might even be that, you have gone so far that, God, Has `TAKEN OVER’ YOUR HEART, TO DO YOU EVIL In any case, you can reduce your punishment, BY RUNNING TO GOD NOW, REPENT, AND BEG FOR MERCY!

Let us now imagine the man who posted the article above, is in the category we have just mentioned. Let’s imagine that, he SANG, OR HAS SUNG, his wrong notes of music for very long, without bringing sense into it; and now, he is in one of the categories of people who NEED TO GO TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS, AND FOR DELIVERANCE! We, frankly and gladly support that, GOD, AND HIS FORGIVENESS, IS ALL HE NEEDS NOW! No man can save him now, so, he doesn’t need man’s forgiveness at this stage. HE NEEDS TO SETTLE HIS CASE WITH GOD FIRST. It is very likely that, God Would Tell him to complete his deliverance, by going to someone he might have SERIOUSLY WOULDED, and thus beg the person for forgiveness too. Not unless he is Sent by God to the person, his labour to receive any good from the person, will be invain. For one, the person may forgive him, but may never believe that he has GENUINELY REPENTED AND CHANGED, AND IF GIVEN ANY OTHER OPPORTUNITY TO HARM THE PERSON AGAIN, HE WILL NEVER RESTART CHASING THE PERSON FOR EVIL AGAIN!  May the person run to God now before it is too late, and HONESTLY REPENT before Him, and beg Him for FORGIVENESS. That is still THE OLD TIME WAY OF RECEIVING FORGIVENESS. Modern preachers often ignore that point, and go straight into `IF YOU FORGIVE NOT YOUR BROTHER THEIR TRESSPASSES, NEITHER WILL YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER ALSO FORGIVE YOUR TRESSPASS`. The modern preachers often ignore the other part of Jesus’ Instruction that, `IF THY BROTHER SHALL TRESPASS AGAINST THEE, SEVENTY TIMES SEVENTY TIMES, and will REPENT, SEVENTY TIMES SEVENTY, …forgive him`. Modern preachers only promote OFFENSES, and FORGIVENESS; but FAIL to WARN AN OFFENDER AGAINST THE `CURSE` that Jesus Pronounced on OFFENDERS, ESPECIALLY OFFENDERS TO INNOCENT ONES. Jesus did Say, `WOE UNTO THE WORLD BECAUSE OF OFFENCES, FOR THERE MUST NEED BE THAT OFFENCES COME; BUT WOE TO THAT MAN(WOMAN) BY WHOM THE OFFENCE COMETH`!

FB SERVICE -10;2;25.

“DONT BE A KITCHEN WIFE WHO DEPENDS ON HER HUSBAND POCKET FOR SURVIVAL. BE A WOMAN WITH HUSTLE WHO ALSO HELP HER MAN FINANCIALLY”.

A quick reminder that, all our official Services that we post on Facebook, are as the result of the Articles that we find on facebook. So it is with the Article above. I met it many times on facebook, and this year, I decided to use for our Service now. As you can see the ‘QUOTATION MARK’ on it, I wrote it exactly as the person who posted the original, we don’t want to expose the person. You may find a few English language mistakes or punctuation marks missing, but you cannot miss the meaning of the whole sentences.

The advice that the person gave here, is quite sound, provided the intention of the person was sound too, and the heart, innocent. Nevertheless, there advice did not come in full, with explanation that could ease any couple whose marriage may not be exactly as the poster advised. So, we would like to add a few details to it. Whilst it is no man’s business to probe into people’s marriages(especially if it is NATURAL ONE) with advice like this, unless such a person is officially Appointed, for example, a Marriage Counselor-either from a Church, or professionally; it is good to pass a word of advice to young people, or to anyone who wants to go into Marriage. And, what a good place to do so, including SOCIAL MEDIA. Take the advice or ignore it, may not affect the poster in any way. But may I use this opportunity to advise social media users, to be very careful with what the post, because it can cause someone a long ill-impact. Before you post anything, WHISPER A LITTLE PRAYER TO GOD, AND LET HIM CONTROL YOUR HEART AND HAND. CHECK YOUR HEART TO MAKE SURE THAT, ALL YOU WANT TO DO, IS TO HELP SOMEONE TO BENEFIT, SPIRITUALLU, OR PHYSICALLY, OR BOTH, FROM YOUR POST, WITHOUT SELFISH PURPOSE. You can post good or even bad things about yourself, for example, birthdays or achievements. But be careful with advising people. If your post is with DIRTY SCENES, OR DIRTY LANGUAGE, fear God, and remember the young ones who are using same social media. So, change your post. I still remember when I first joined FB in 2010, there was hardly a day that I came across the word that is dirty. If someone wanted to write dirty word, `sh…..t, the full spelling would not be displayed on fb. But it is order and style now, EVEN FROM EDUCATED PEOPLE. You may be a sinner, and if you do not repent, you will one day receive your just but ill reward. The ILL-REWARD is GREATER HERE ON EARTH, IF A YOUNG HEART IS CORRUPTED BECAUSE OF YOUR SIN. SO BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DO NOT DRAG AN INNOCENT PERSON TO COMMIT YOUR PARTICULAR SIN. Jesus Said to the people that, IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HANG A STONE ON SOMEONE, WHO INTENTIONALLY OFFENDED ONE OF THESE INNOCENT CHILDREN; AND BE CAST INTO THE SEA. He Said it would have been better that, such an offender person, were not born. That is how serious it is to CORRUPT AN INNOCENT CHILD!

My addition to our Article above is that, before a man settles down in marriage with a WOMAN, he must make sure he LOVES her NATURALLY, and that the FEELINGS WOULD LAST FOR LIFE. The man should understand her STRNGTH AND WEAKNESS. The man should understand that, it is his NATURAL RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE GREATEST RESPONSIBILITY OF HER FINANCIAL NEEDS. If he marries her when she is employed- the time he marries her, HER EMPLOYMENT SHOULD NOT BE PART OF THE REASONS HE WANTS TO MARRY HER. He should ignore her finances’ ability, and still know that, if the job ends anytime, it is his responsibility to care for the home. In short, the MAN IS A `BREAD-WINNER for his marital home. It started from The Garden of Eden. God had Already Created the world and Adam, Put him in The Garden, and Told him to LOOK AFTER EVERYTHING-PLANTS AND ANIMALS that were there. Later, God, in His Mercy for mankind, Gave Eve to Adam, ONLY AS HELP-MEET, and TO KEEP ADAM COMPANY. Adam was alone, and animals couldn’t keep him company, as a woman, another human being. Another example is when Abraham had to send his servant to go to another country to marry a woman for his son, Isaac-a wife for Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham had already Prayed to God about the woman, Rebecca, that Isaac would marry. He sent his servant with some things SUITABLE FOR GIFTS DURING MARRIAGE. So, women, are expensive jewels, ESPECIALLY, DIGNIFIED WOMEN. THEY CAN BE HOT CAKE TO A MAN! There is no place in the Bible that Says that, Rebecca, contributed to Isaac’s financial needs, to care for the family. Isaac must have been a BREAD WINNER.  There is no place in the Bible that Says that, Rebecca, contributed to Isaac’s financial needs, to care for the family. Isaac must have been a BREAD WINNER.  The culture that I come from, seem to follow same example. A man pays to marry the woman of his choice. The woman can get involved in farming, the land to cultivate,  given to her by the husband. The palm Trees produce--oil produce, or the farm-produce, is what she could sell and care for herself, and support the man, as much as she can. If she is educated and in an employment, her salary is for herself, light financial responsibilities, like, some pocket-money, clothes etc, to their children when in school. The father is still THE BREAD-WINNER. In those days, it was a SHAME FOR A WOMAN WHO TAKES THE POSITION OF THE HUSBAND, AS A BREAD WINNER. NO MAN TOO, WOULD BE PROUD TO GIVE UP HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO THE WIFE. The sad part is when a woman earns more and is financially Blessed than the man; but still expects the man to play his part as a man in the home. On that note, I would like to advise MORDERN women, who are educated, and in good employment, that they follow not the old pattern of expecting the husband to play his part, even when she can play that financial part, BETTER AND EASIER than the husband. In short, LOVE, EMPATHY, RESPECT, AND ATTRACTION, SHOULD BE THE SIMPLE THINGS THAT A COUPLE IN MARRIAGE, SHOULD POSSESS TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER. Forget what is a woman or a man’s responsibility, if you want more happiness in your marriage. IF IT IS WHAT YOU CAN DO OR BRING INTO YOUR MARRIAGE, FOR MORE PEACE AND HAPPINESS, PLAY THAT PART EVEN IF IT IS A POPULAR MEN’S/WOMEN’S PART TO PLAY. Cooking is for women, taking care of the children is for the woman, and a reasonable woman knows those are her first office to occupy in marriage. But if the man must come in somewhere, he is welcome to help. When I say, `taking care of the children`, I mean mostly physical care. But BOTH PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHILDRENS’ SPIRITUAL WELFARE. TRAIN THEM WITH THE BIBLE, AND ESPECIALLY, WITH THE EXAMPLE FROM YOUR OWN DAILY LIVING. IF YOUR ACTIONS CORRUPT THEM, YOU ARE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT JESUS SAID, `IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER YOU WERE NOT BORN`.

In Western culture regarding marriage, a lot of `artificial` practices are added-ranging from a woman approaching a man for friendship and for marriage, NAGGING A MAN FOR ATTENTION OR FOR MARRIAGE, Dowry, may not be requested by the parents of the bride etc. A woman can be proud to bring a man into her house, and care for him. After the marriage, the wife is not ashamed to play the role of a man, and cater for his financial needs. In my culture, those are FORBIDDEN, if not by the culture, by the parents of the bride. In the other hand, even before marriage, the groom to be, can be helping the family of his bride-to-be, financially. Having said all the above, especially concerning paying DOWRY, there is a State I know, near where I come from where I come from; the Dowry that is often being demanded by the parent of the bride-to-be, is out of proportion on earth! Please, may I suggest that culture  be re-considered. Parent, you are not SELLING YOUR DAUGHTERS TO MEN, it is marriage, when every party should smile and dismiss with happiness. Your Dowry demand, can put off men from marrying your daughters. The result could leave your daughters older than they should be, before marriage. Lower your demands to your son-inlaws. They still have to play their financial responsibilities, with your daughters and children when finally living together, when God would Bless them with some. Moreover, they can keep extending financial hand to you, once in a while, all through the period-life, that they spend with your daughters.

In conclusion, no woman would like to be a FULL TIME KITCHEN WIFE, BRINGING IN NO MONEY FOR ONE ADVANTAGE OR THE OTHER, IN THE FAMILY. Why would she want to get stuck on home activities, when she can get a part time employment, even if it is to care for herself alone, and for social life outside! On the other hand, a good woman who wants to TAKE CARE OF HER YOUNG CHILDREN TO THE PLEASURE OF GOD, AND FOR HER SATISFACTION, TRAINING THEM, AND PRAYING WITH THEM WITHOUT SLEEPING OFF DURING THE PROCESS; CANNOT COMBINE THAT WITH COOKING AND FULL TIME EMPLYMENT. I HAVE BEEN THERE!

!f this were to go on our Website, might be we would have brought in more points. But not enough space on fb, we fear. So we end here.

SPECIAL ENGLISH LESSON FOR 18/07/24.

PIC1: It is a common mistake to make, between SPOKEN ENGLISH AND WRITTEN ENGLISH. This is because, when putting your statement in writing, you are more focused and not in a rush. After the writing, a good writer reads what he has written, and has the time to correct any error before sending it out. Also, there are some words that you cannot miss to add to your statement, when writing, if you want the person you are communicating to, to have a quick and better understanding of what you say. For instance, when speaking, you can say, 'They say you reap what you sow, but you may escape bad harvest if you repent genuinely, not FAKE THE REPENTANCE, BUT PROMISE(and keep the promise) NEVER TO OFFEND ON THE SAME MATTER AGAIN`. 

To put that into writing, and for better understanding:

'They say that, you will reap what you sow, but you may be able to escape the bad harvest that you sowed, if you repent of the bad thing that you did. Such REPENTANCE MUST NOT BE A FAKE ONE, BUT WITH A PROMISE NEVER TO OFFEND THE PERSON ON THE SAME MATTER AGAIN'.

PIC 2 ABOVE:

Making sure that the person you are communicating with, understands you properly, there are certain thing to bear in mine. Below are some of them:

PUNCTUATION MARKS: You have to punctuate your statements properly. EXAMPLE: 'I WANTED THEM TO CALL HER BEAUTY, PERFECT'. The statement means that, I wanted people to call her name, 'PERFECT'. The same statement can be writen in another way for a different meaning thus:  'I WANTED THEM TO CALL HER, BEAUTY-PERFECT`. That means that, I wanted them to refer to her with the name, 'BEAUTY-PERFECT'.

PIC NUMBER 3 ABOVE:

This requires a FULL ENGLISH LESSON on it, because TENSES(past tense, present tense, future tense, past participle tense, present participle tense etc) is major part of any statement made, and many people often make mistake in their usage of tenses, due to lack of the knowledge of the right tense to use. But we just want to confirm that, the student answering the teacher on the pic above, is right with his usage of the tense in his answer; only if he is sincere with his assessment of the beauty of the teacher. That means that, he knew the teacher in the past, and that, she was more beautiful then than how she looks now. 

ABOUT US-OUR HUMBLE BEGINNINGS.

ON OUR FREEMEAL DAY, WE ALSO DISPLAYED OUR CHARITY PRODUCTS FOR OUR FREEMEAL GUESTS IN THE CENTRE TO CHOOSE FROM. Below are some of those products.

Founded in 2007, Hatifmandu Charity Organization took her first Service to the public with a Free-Meal every Wednesday. Mandu, The Proprietor of Hatifmandu, felt The Leading of God to Share The Gospel Message within her Community, and she decided to do so through Free-Meal. She hired a Hall-venue for the Meeting, and advertised the service in her locality,  inviting people to gather at a local Hall for FREE-MEAL. The advertisement included that, she would be sharing the Word of God whilst the free meal would be enjoyed. Interested people responded to this advertisement and phoned up for further details. Application forms were sent to the respondents, requesting for certain information about them, for example, an address to deliver their meals in case they couldn’t come to the Venue where the gathering took place every Wednesday. Requested information also included the person’s current employment status, for although Mandu’s main Aim for Establishing the Charity Organization was to Spread The Gospel of Jesus Christ to every human being around her, it was obvious that her part-time paid job could not cope for large Free-Meal Distribution. So, in order that she would not miss those who responded, but couldn’t be served with the free meal, she aimed to sell the meal to those who were working and could afford to pay for it, at a VERY REDUCED RATE. God Granted her the Success of being able to Serve these two categories of people, whilst still sharing The Gospel on a one-to-one basis, and in a group to those who were able to come to the Hall.  The Application Form also requested that, the Applicants made a choice of food they would prefer, out of the TWO TYPES of meals that we offered-1) FRIED RICE, SERVED WITH FRIED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES  2) BABY POTATOES SERVED WITH STEWED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES. These Applicants names and details were stored on our Data Base, and they were served through their details.

Hatifmandu later, at a very fast rate, grew into having more Services added to the free-meal Service, and having our Volunteers increased from only two people, to many. Mandu needed to register The Charity Organization with The British Charity Commission, and in 2010, God Made it possible that The Charity got her Official Status, when it went through the Registration process, successfully. Our tribute to one of our Volunteers then, whom God Used to Grant Hatifmandu, that official Status! To meet up with the demands from the British Charity Commission, we then nominated some volunteers to form BOARD OF TRUSTEES. Some were appointed to lead, or to manage some other Areas of Services, for example, Bible Quiz Section and THE FREEMEAL.

Some ON-LINE SERVICES, were added to the free-meal Service. Some of the on-line Services are still in operation till date, for example, Bible QUIZ, AND FUN.

MONTHLY PRAYER MEETING was brought into Hatifmandu, and that was the time that all Volunteers and Managers would gather together and pray for the Organization’s Work, for ourselves, and for the whole world. Transport Section of the Organization also was involved in collecting interested people(those we might have known through free-meal Distribution, etc) to our Church on Sundays for the Sunday Services, the Church that many of us were members and worship with the congregation.

We also had SOCIAL SERVICES, once a year, when our Volunteers and Management would be given a little token, to appreciate their service at Hatifmandu. A few Services also took place at Hatifmandu, making it a PROGRESSIVE CHARITY ORGANISATION. Unfortunately, some of those Services have since been DISCONTINUED, either because of finances, or because of shortage of staff, or other challenges.   

If Jesus Tarries His Return to the earth, we are still hopeful that we would bring back some of those Services, for example, THE FREE-MEAL, if God Blesses us with a SUITABLE PREMISES to carry out Hatifmandu Daily Official Work, as it should be.

UPDATE:

To this date(20/09/23), Hatifmandu is left with ONLY ONE ACTIVE VOLUNTEER. We lost all our volunteers/Board Members, when we DISCONTINUED with some of our Services. A few of these people had moved out of the Country, whilst some left the Organization for other personal reasons.

The Proprietor of Hatifmandu was USED to the word `WE`, when Hatifmandu had many volunteers working for her, and when addressing matters concerning Hatifmandu to the public(she became the Representative for Hatifmandu’s Volunteers). So, it no surprising that she is still using the word, `WE`, on behave of Hatifmandu, even when Hatifmandu is now left with only one Volunteer.

Also, if you have been making use of our on-line Services, you would have since come across these three letters, `HIM`, which stand for, `HATIFMANDU`. That abbreviation is easier to use when referring to Hatifmandu, and we started using it since the Establishment of Hatifmandu Charity.

We are glad that our WEBSITE, AND THE PROPRIETOR HERSELF, HAVE GAINED A TREMENDOUS POPULARITY ESPECIALLY IN RECENT YEARS. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BENEFIT FROM OUR ON-LINE SERVICES, OR `FOLLOW` MANDU UKPE,  ON HER FACEBOOK ACCOUNT. If you have not yet `followed` her, we encourage you to do so, as she is quick to post some interesting ARTICLES THERE, either for Official purposes-on behalf of HIM, or for her personal interaction on fb.

We are no more a Registered Charity with The British Charity Commission, as we were unable to be submitting our Charity Yearly ACCOUNT to them. They bore with us for a year, then decided to strike out our Name from their List. It was difficult for The Proprietor to continuously add that Part of the Job at HIM, to other jobs that she does for HIM, yearly. That ACCOUNTING Work used to be undertaken by our previous WEBSITE MANAGERS. Each one of them used to help HIM on that until the time they left us, some years ago. Mandu took up the ACCOUNTING AND SUBMISSION TO THE BRITISH CHARITY COMMISSION, until she could not cope again, when HIM lost all Her Volunteers and she had to add one or two Services to her work profile.

However, we do not really need any such Official Status at this Stage. One of the reasons we desperately wanted to get The Charity Registered, was in order to GIVE HER RECOGNITION WIDELY. Our Work, or HIM’s Name, has long GAINED THAT WORLD-WIDE POPULARITY AND RECOGNITION. So we don’t need it to be on Charity Commission’s Ladder any longer. Another reason why Charities need to be Registered, is FOR THE PURPOSE OF GETTING SOME FUNDS, OFFICIALY. DONORS would hardly donate to a Charity that is not Officially known, through its Registration with The Charity Commission. We have NEVER received such donation even when with The Commission, and we are not expecting it. We thank God for RUNNING THE CHARITY THAT HE ESTABLISED, FOR US, FOR HIS GLORY, AND FOR SALVATION OF SOULS. May you be SAVED TODAY, IF YOU ARE STILL A SINNER, BUT HAVE BEEN ENJOYING OUR SERVICES, PHYSICALLY. We are glad you make use of our Services, please continue to do so.

OUR PRAYER IS THAT, THE GOD WHO FOUNDED HATIFMANDU BY HIS DIVINE WISDOM, SHOULD SEND MILLIONS OF SOULS TO HEAVEN THROUGH HATIFMANDU’S HUMBLE SERVICES. MAY HE INCLUDE YOU AMONG THESE MILLIONS TO GAIN HEAVEN AT LAST, AFTER THIS TROUBLESOME WORLD. AMEN.

 

 

 

HIM WORK SCHEDULE FOR THE YEAR, 2025:

We are glad to inform you that, hatifmandu is aiming at Serving the public with an online activities, twice a week, by God’s Grace. One of the Services will be posted on our Website, while One will be posted on Facebook, on Mandu Ukpe or on Eka Uyom’s Account.

These Services may not be any of our usual Main Services that we had been Serving in the previous Years. So, keep your eyes clear and mind willing to embrace a different Style of HIM’s Services.

WARNING: Our prayer is that, everyone of you that has been, and will be enjoying our Services, USES THE SERVICES TO IMPROVE HIS OR HER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, WHOM WE ARE SERVING. THIS MEANS THAT, EVERYONE STRIVES TO INVITE THE FEAR OF GOD INTO HIS OR INTO HER HEART. WE BELIEVE WITH THE FEAR OF GOD IN THE HEART, WISDOM, WILL BE THE RESULT IN THE LIFE OF SUCH PERSON. THE END-PRODUCT OF THAT INDIVIDUAL THEREFORE, WILL BE A RESPONSIBLE AND KIND BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS PEOPLE HE OR SHE COMES ACROSS. WE AT HATIFMANDU, COULD THEN SEE AND SMELL SWEET OFF/ONLINE BEHAVIOUR FROM PEOPLE, ATLEAST ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THE PAST YEARS, EVEN UP TILL THIS MORNING, GAVE HIM’S PROPRIETOR SADNESS, FROM TIME TO TIME, WHEN SHE BEHELD PEOPLE RUNNING AN ENDLESS MARATHON OF LIFE-DESTRUCTION! THE SADNESS IS MAINLY THAT, MANDU BECOMES DISCOURAGED TO CONTINUE LABOURING TO HELP THESE ANGRY, SELFISH AND LIFE-WASTERS PEOPLE, USING OUR SERVICES, ONLY TO ENTERTAIN THEIR FLESH. SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS, WAS THE GOAL IN MIND, WHEN HATIFMANDU WAS FOUNDED. WE ONLY USED FREEMEAL AS AN ATTRACTION, FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS SPIRITUAL MEAL-THE WORD OF GOD. THEREFORE, IF AT ANY SEASON, WE OBSERVE THAT, THE SERVICES WE HOPE TO OFFER, IS NOT REDUCING IRRESPONSIBLE CHARACTER AND GREED, NOR PROMOTE KINDNESS RATHER THAN HATRED, WE HOPE TO DISCONTINUE IN OUR SERVICES, ATLEAST FOR THIS YEAR. WE MAY DO THAT WITHOUT ANY FURTHER WARNING OR INFORMATION. PLEASE TAKE NOTE. JESUS INSTRUCTED HIS DISCIPLES AT ONE TIME, NOT TO WASTE THE WORD OF GOD ON THOSE WHO WOULD DRIVE THEM OFF THEIR HOUSES OR CITIES. JESUS ADVISED THE DISCIPLES TO LEAVE SUCH HOUSE OR CITY, BUT THAT BEFORE THEY LEFT, THEY SHOULD SHAKE OFF THE DUST FROM THEIR FEET THERE. JESUS SAID THAT, THE DUST FROM THE DISCIPLES’ FEET, WILL STAND AGAINST THAT HOUSE/CITY, IN JUDGEMENT, LATER. ANOTHER TIME, JESUS SAID THAT, THE BREAD OF CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE WASTED ON SWINES-INDIFFERENT LISTENERS OF GOD’S WORD. IF WE AT ANY TIME WOULD STOP OUR SERVICES THIS YEAR, WE WOULD BE COMFORTED BY THE ADVICE THAT JESUS GAVE TO THE DISCIPLES, AT A CERTAIN TIME.
