About Me
- sovereign army
- Sovereign Army Fellowship is the University of Lagos students’ fellowship of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, City of David Parish. Sovereign Army Fellowship was founded over ten years ago, during the closure of the University of Lagos campus due to cult crisis. The aim was to rid the University of its Ills by establishing the principles of God in the hearts of its members who will in turn spread the word of God over the campus thereby turning the hearts of many to God. Sovereign Army started in a small room at the Guest House with just six members under the leadership of her first pastor, Pastor Inky Olayiwole nee Echetabu. She was the pastor-in-charge of the fellowship for two years. Since inception till date, the fellowship has by the grace of GOD addresses the social ills of the campus such as cult issues, clubbing, prostitution and other vices. Expansion began in Sovereign Army over the years and has not stopped. God took the fellowship from a Guest House congregation to a main auditorium size attendance. God has increased the fellowship on all sides and made her a reference point for the definition of excellence.
Well, 'technically' its not a sin because there is no scripture that explicitly states that 'Thou shalt not copy assignments'. However, its not the wisest thing to do, especially if its an assignment for which the lecturer states 'You must do this assignment individually'. Its important as christians that we dont do anything that brings us shame. What if the lecturer calls you and your friend and asks why your assignments are the same? You will not be representing God's kingdom appropriately.
ReplyDeleteAlso, remember that as christians we are meant to be the light of the world. People should be coming to beg us to copy our assignments and not the other way around!
I feel people that copy are lazy.
ReplyDeleteYes I in fact have copied assignments that I edited then submitted while in School and I am not proud of it. Why? Because I did not do the assignment.
The aim of the assignment is for you to actually learn what it is you've been told to do. It's not only about getting the marks. The ammount of marks shows how much you've learned. So if you "dub" an assignment then you've not learnt anything and you are getting a mark you did not work for.
That is stealing in a sense.
God created us in his image- intelligent, radiant, beautiful, inquisitive, awesome, inventive. So why do we now want to be like the Devil who is a copycat?
Let's set the pace. No grey- black and white.
If you have an assignment or term paper, pray to God to help you and do it to the best of your ability- research, read books, that's what you are in school for, it's that time in your life for you to read so read!!! Learn!!! Make God proud of you. Cos in the end, it's between you and God, not the people you want to impress with good grades.
Besides God said it that His thoughts towards us are of Good, so trust Him and do the right thing.
Hope I wasn't to sermonal.
Don't Copy. Be original. Be a child of God!!!
Cheers!!!
what of assignments that generally have the same answer, is it wrong to 'borrow' another individuals assignment when you know that the steps don't differ?
ReplyDeletei dont think it is a sin cos its an open book question. even if u dont copy from the person u may end up using the same material. so, wats the difference??????????
