Описание: Nigeria and the United States: Twists and Turns through Five Decades provides a detailed and in-depth assessment of the relationship between the world's sole superpower and Africa's most populous nation. The book chronicles the early contacts between the two countries and then assesses how that relationship has evolved, enlisting the services of some of Nigeria's most notable international relations experts and scholars in the Humanities who provide chapter contributions. The result has been a highly engaging documentation of this critical bilateral relationship. The objectives of the volume are three-fold: - To document all the ramifications of America-Nigeria relations over five decades bringing out the ups and downs of the relationship and their consequences. -To assess the impact of the "past" on the "present" and the future of Nigeria-America relations. This is particularly important because a complex tapestry of dreams and desires seem to govern the political, economic and security relations between the two countries. - To provide a detailed study that can assist the process of policy formations in both Nigeria and the United States The methodology adopted is to identify all the key aspects of the relationship between the two countries and provide a detailed analysis of the key issues that have underlined the social, economic, political, diplomatic and military relations between the two countries. Although the focus is mainly on Nigeria and the United States, the text also touches on situations in other countries that inevitably became intertwined with the American Nigeria relations, especially the situation in Southern Africa during the era of apartheid and minority rule and Liberia, during the country's bitter civil conflict.
Описание: This book is a genuine attempt to set the record straight concerning tithe and giving in the Church. There are divergent teachings, shades of opinion, and practices regarding tithe and giving in the Church. While some believe a Christian must give a tenth of his income to God regularly in order to secure His favor and escape His curse, others believe this is not necessary since Christ died to make us inherit the blessing of Abraham and deliver us from the Curse of the Law. What then is the true position of the Bible regarding this subject? Should a Christian tithe? Is tithing a necessity for accessing God's blessing? Where is the place of the finished work of Christ? Is the redeemed subject to the Curse of the Law? Why were the Apostles of Christ silent about tithing? Do we need to make pledges and vows in order to obtain God's favor and blessing? What about the firstfruit, do we need to pay to secure God's blessing? Are there principles guiding giving in the New Testament? You will find answers to all these and other related questions in this book. The book was written in an easy-to-read version. Scriptural passages were cited copiously in order to allow the Bible to speak for itself. Important historical records were also cited to unravel the origin of tithing in the Church. To whom was this book written? -Everyone who is interested in knowing the truth -Those who want to know the position of the Bible on the subject -Those who accept the Word of God as the final authority in life and doctrine -All who prefer the Word of God to the traditions of men. I encourage the reader to make all effort to read the book from the beginning to the end because every chapter is a very important part of the whole. This is the only way to get the complete message. Happy reading
