A friend on facebook posted this and I thought of sharing :

Thought to share this Welcome to Nigeria, where typing amen to pastor's prayers on Facebook will save you from your village witches and make you a billionaire... Welcome to Nigeria, where Jesus Christ sends you a WhatsApp message and threatens to kill you if you do not send it to 20 people. The most annoying thing in all, is that graduates and supposed learned people send these ''miracle messages'' to their friends everyday. These messages carry lots of threats; Some of the messages say you will suffer or go broke for a week if you don't send them... As belivers we need to keep an open mind and be discerning and also open our hearts and minds to healthy discussions. We need to think... The Almighty will punish you if you refuse to send those messages? Do you think your destiny is tied to a message on social media?Do you believe? We claim to be children of The Almighty but we are scared of the future, scared of little things. You relay a message to 20 people on social media and believe in your heart that you will wake up tomorrow a billionaire...What is wrong with us? Like seriously, what is really wrong with us? ... Without prayers, hard work, determination & purpose, ''miracle messages'' on social media are not invisible hands that can instantly make us rich... Stop spreading your fears on social media because we are not gullible...Our Lord is too big to send threats to make people obey Him. Our Lord will never do that. We need messages that will transform souls and not messages that will threaten people to create unnecessary fear and panic. ''IN HIM ALONE IS LIFE

I long stopped resending such messages with all their inherent threats. My God doesn't need to threaten me before I will preach His word to this generation
