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.
