BLACK TAX

[@janet3313]

I was a stay at home mum for 6 years, I started learning digital design during the pandemic in 2020. Fast forward to 2023, I now work as a full-time designer for a company abroad from Nigeria. I work remotly. I learnt the skills free on youtube.

What's your handle? Let me see your works.

[@trini2dboneluv]

Thank you for your testimony, God Bless you abundantly we have no excuse!!!!

[@olugbemimoyinoluwa6579]

Wow! I’m a student as well, and I’m willing to work too, I would prefer learning a skill and working with it to buying and selling which could be hectic and distracting, as a student. I would like if you could train me, ma. It’s very okay if it comes at a cost. Thank you, ma.❤

[@janet3313]

@@olugbemimoyinoluwa6579 I am happy to here that. I am a digital designer, let me know if you are intrested in learning. Donʻt worry, I wont be charging you😊

[@toyinemmanuel8971]

Pls can you guide me on how to learn online

[@abasibiangakeakpabio7228]

I initially didn't know why the algorithm threw this in my face, but in God's design, I saw it. Black tax is real for me. God kept orchestrating things until I saw this. The weight of guilt was so huge on me because I began to choose prudence and savings over lavish support to family members. There are many nuances in this message. This message came at the right time. Thank you for delivering the message as God placed it in your heart.

[@RinaReneeLillWinnersClub]

Calling what is essentially African Tax BLACK TAX is incredibly disrespectful. The term BLACK TAX is what was done TO we Freedman here in America! It's not something that we contribute to by our submitting to family guilt. This is AFRICAN TAX. THIS is Black Tax: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpSsZomjp5agqrMsi=5g8InS7enE6vchUH historically documented. Good grief. The vulturing and disrespect is off the charts.

[@lumabigirl7882]

I decided to free myself from that tax this year, I have work for more than 3 years for others. So this year I set a targeted amount I have to safe every month no matter what happens. Black tax is so draining especially for us first borns.

[@abasibiangakeakpabio7228]

[@statelyart]

Halfway into this message, I got the opportunity to practicalize. The me who out of guilt, give always without savings, had to return the caller's statement "e choke for here too o" Na person wey stand go fit lift others. God bless you, sir.

This message should have been titled "BSc to PhD on Black Tax". Knowledge is Power...Revelation is Freedom!

[@MededodeAssogba]

I have never heard someone explain my ideology of giving this way before. I thought I was broken for thinking this way, I'm glad I'm vindicated. No more guilt! Hallelujah!

[@elizabethbello3746]

I thought I was the only one who thinks like that too

[@amenosakpolor4135]

Listening 🎧 to this, i remember one time, i was in the church, my pastor friend brought a lady to me, and said she needed support, i ask her, will you work, she said yes, because i told i am not financially strong to carry ur problems but i can offer u a job, the funny thing was thst, she work for only three months with so much complaints, throwing words to the church, and later left the job. Many people are very irresponsible and are waiting to play the emotional game.

[@hudsontitus9648]

I'm now an online member of Pst Femi's congregation. Since the first day i came across your reel on Instagram, a had a reconsideration of my living. Your messages are so relatable and practical. Thank you sir for these teachings.

Only a good man preaches his mistakes... what a message!

[@delademkumordzie346]

There is a generation of balanced teaching, wisdom, and spirituality growing in the church. Pst Femi is leading at the forefront, we desperately need a mindset shift as Africans. we need to take responsibility and prepare ourselves for all-round excellence. Thank you for this timeless message.

[@Noranene_]

Finding balance is really important. As the first born of the family it's has been something on my mind to help my family problems. But then "Don't start what you can't finish" I would only help in a way that I can only consistently repeat. Never give the impression that you have so much. God bless you Apostle❤️

[@lumabigirl7882]

I learnt this the hard way, being a first born is tough and draining.

[@oyin8388]

This is the ONLY msg I need to SURVIVE YEAR 2024! Oh Lord, I thank You for using Your Servant to DELIVER ME FROM SCAMMERS (in person of MY SIBLINGS!!!). I'v been blind for years, but now, I see! May God refill your virtues, Pst. Lazarus! 🙏

[@bamioluwaji827]

Thank God o but let's not forget that Apost. is not advising against giving but he encourages employing wisdom in giving.

[@ugochinwankpa7187]

😂

[@MzOnyi]

No truer words have been said, I pray whoever stumbles on this gets the understanding and wisdom to implement it to break the pattern if present.

[@roberto.ogunbanwo6258]

I was skeptical at first but the moment he started to balance his message with reality is when i began to respect this man

[@RefiloeMosoeunyane-qk8ep]

This message is for me, I 'm not doing well financially because I have been unwisely giving, sending my irresponsible cousin's child to school has caused my siblings to demand financial assistance for their children as well.Now that I don't help them with their children 's needs they are angry at me.I 'm being taxed because I 'm single but this year I told myself that I will rather be hated than being held back.I thank God for this message 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@AdeRolake]

I remember those years when my father (of blessed memory) will help his extended family members at the detriment of his wife. His words were "you are always here..." When it hit, it hit us so hard... Thank God for lessons I got as I grew up. Not a palatable experience but I don't live in regrets. We move...

[@Nyakato-v3t]

Sometimes you need to understand that the money you're throwing around is not a sign of generosity it's a sign of financial illiteracy. Anything you don't have plan for can fly. One wishes to have known this few yrs ago but it's never too late,,,, Blessings Apostle for such a great teaching ❤️🙏

[@julietchioma6108]

I came across this particular message in December of last year and I can tell you that it has been helping me to be balanced when it comes to spending/giving. Yeah, I made a few mistakes last year, and when I downloaded and started this message, one thing stood out for me: 'They will survive even if you don't give them'. Thank you sir for the message 🙏

[@israelpaul9542]
