“Is it right for a
Christian to pay money to someone to get a job?”
What
do you mean by that? Interview fees are quite normal and you get a receipt for
that... why are you looking so uncomfortable? Tell me what’s going on.
“Actually I missed the
job last year since I didn’t settle and the price has doubled.”
Doubled?
In this institution? Doubled? The last time I checked the interview fees were
slashed to very affordable rates. You are still not meeting my eyes. Talk to
me.
“Actually the money is
not for any interview. Last year I turned down an offer to be someone’s
candidate for the job. The people who coughed out N0.5M have it. Now
it’s being offered at N1M. The interview is a farce, everyone knows
that. Pay and get the job. I’m tired of sitting at home and taking handouts. I
didn’t spend 6 years in university and 2 years after to pick crumbs. If this is
the new way to get jobs and everyone is doing it...”
Stop!
Please stop this. This reasoning is evil and warped. Don't be like the people of this world, but
let God change the way you think Rom 12:2 (CEV). Does the money go to the
government or to a private individual? Is he or she not abusing the office to
corruptly enrich the pocket and make merchandise of you and you condone it? You
tolerate anyone who makes you his slaves, devours what you have, takes what is
yours, orders you around, or slaps your face! 2Cor 11:20(ISV) Haba. You should be reporting this and
not be a partaker of iniquity. Definitely unmistakeably ungodly behaviour.
“Report to whom? You
don’t live on this planet! I have researched and found if you need a job you
pay. It was 3 months’ salary before, now the price is up. And if you are a babe
automatically you are the girlfriend if you can’t cough up the dough. Report to
who? Will you give me a job, will you?”
If I were you, I would turn to God and present my
case to him Job 5:8 (GNB). Please return to God.
Your speech makes me wonder if you have forgotten you were cleansed from sin
before. If you do this know it is a faulty foundation you lay throughout the
duration of the job.
“I am tired, I need to fend for myself. That’s God’s will
for me, not this. ”
Of course you need to.
But you must be strong and prove to the principalities your commitment to Jesus
no matter the outcome. Take no part
in the sins of others; keep yourself pure1Tm 5:22(GNB).You are desperate now,
and it is putting pressure on you. Relax in Him. Whatever happened to the man
of faith you proved to be on campus?
“My dear in those days when I push something happens. Now I
just wonder.”
Don’t wander now. The
stakes are higher, and you must not be as the seed on stony ground falling away
because of persecution and trouble. Your majesty,
if it be his will, our God whom we serve can deliver us from the blazing fire
furnace, and he will deliver us from you. But if not, rest assured, your
majesty, that we won't serve your gods... Dan 3:17, 18(ISV).
