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.
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: th-cam.com/video/HcI5Vmr1mtQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5g8InS7enE6vchUH historically documented. Good grief. The vulturing and disrespect is off the charts.
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.
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.
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.
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.❤
@@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😊
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.
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!
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...
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.
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❤️
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.
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 ❤️🙏
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 🙏
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! 🙏
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 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Walai this man is loaded, this message was on repeat althrough the night, i got to the office this moring, since i am less busy, it is to repeat the messages, so many things i did not hear the first time.... Sir God bless you for changing my life... This is life changing
Street sense mixed with spiritual wisdom. Thank you. Sharing this with my older brother right away. He needs to hear this. God bless you and increase you in wisdom.
Honestly, I came here from Instagram too. I like what the media and publication team is doing. God bless them for bringing these sound teachings to our faces. I’ve been so so blessed. Too much wisdom.
This Black Tax message is timely and much needed. I'm glad I came across this. Thank you pastor for being a blessing through this message. I'm sure I will be back.
I am not a fan of pastors but I must commend this teachings. I was advised to watch and I appreciate the adviser. I'm following all your teachings henceforth.
You don’t have to be a fan of pastors. You are proud that you are not a fan of pastors, what are you doing here then, slithering looking for their teachings? Nonsense
God Abeg 😂 Saah what a teaching My husband and I are first borns and living abroad. We’ve not yet settled and the bills have started coming. Had to reach a video on black tax and felt on this teaching God bless you Sir
In an aspect, I do not regret that I helped people, but I wish I had this wisdom earlier. Today it looks like I am drowning actually... There is actually wisdom here. I am actually a victim to so many things he's talked about.
This message is mind boggling. It is loaded with mysteries that only the wise will fathom. Thank you Apostle Femi Lazarus. More importantly, I am taking with me the statement "Stop helping People to remain irresponsible"
This was very timely... I noticed the moment I started giving... The responsibility increased... And at some points, I increased the money I normally send home just to reduce the frequency of asking but it increased as a matter of fact... Glad to learn a lot of concept from this... Make person no go die from overhelping
Thank you so much pastor for the message i just discover you man of God today and this mesaage has transform me today. May God bless you and continue to allow God to use you to change this generation.
Guilt trip,toxic siblings, infact I could relate with everything the man God of said.I wish I knew this before, but it's time for paradigm shift. Many things to unlearn. This is an end of scamming system!!!!!!!
Glory to God...i hv bn searching since to see a Nigerian Pastor preach about Black Tax but didn't find one except Pst Olumide Emmanuel, he did a good job but was a bit too extreme for me, but Thank God Pst Femi Lazarus brought balance to it. God bless you sir
Pastor Olumide Emmanuel helped shape my life. I could save money last year into this year because I listened to one of his messages. His extremity is good for people in worse case of people pleasing as us.

Your teachings are perfectly acknowledged but you said something about God not taking Hannah's womb but 1Sam 1:5 emphasize that. Thanks for blessing us with your knowledge
Awesomeness! ❤ May God be praised for the gift of His of Wisdom, the understanding of same, and it's balanced application. Also for the anointing of vessels. I receive the grace to be a Builder of sustainable systems, structures, and families. Amen!
I've learned 😭 my current situation is I've been hiding myself from friends and family. My salary is not large but I can't give an account of my salary apart from tithe I give. 🤦🏽 I allowed my emotion take a hold of me to give out my last kobo and borrow from friends then pay them back. Thank you Pst. Sir
Decided to break free from the black Tax this year after visiting home and was not impressed with what I saw, but the funny thing is that I knew about this black tax a long time ago and thought I had it under control until I now reflected on my journey for the past 5 years and realized that the black Tax was controlling me and not the other way around.
