Faulty foundations

“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).
