Hi Friends, welcome to my blog! Let's talk about money, I love the sound of that.

Briefly share with us what you understand by Money

Money is anything generally accepted by people which is used as a means of exchange of goods and services. It serves as a tool that makes buying and selling easier instead of using the means of barter.

It also act as a store of value, which simply means that it can be saved up and used later. In other words, this helps measure the value of different goods and services.

In a nutshell, money is what you use to exchange goods and services, save for future and determine the worth of something.

Are there things you will never do to get it no matter how pressured you are to get it?

“There is a way that seemed right to men, but the end thereof is destruction!”

Money was brought to us by the creator for our glorious living. He wants us to live well on earth that was why he gave it to us and the love for money, is the root of all evil. Certainly, there are things I cannot do for money.

• Blood money/Money ritual

This is a situation where people use their fellow human for money. It has be heard over time about young girls and boys who have been killed by friends for money, even husbands kill wife for money. That money at first gives them joy while they keep paying their secret price but at the end, they never survive it. What shall it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul?

• Gambling and Yahoo

This is another fast means of making money where people stay up all night in the internet defrauding others. I witnessed one that happened around my neighborhood where a guy was claiming to be a pastor and prophesying to a lady on the phone after which the lady paid in dollars. A lot of them will come with the promise of marriage and once they get their alert, they discard that number and get another one to continue.

• Homosexualism

I currently heard that this is the paying job now. Once you agree to their terms and condition, they will turn you into a billionaire over night. All these quest for money does not give ending joy, peace or happiness. I cannot and will never indulge in such things for money!

• Surrogacy

Well, this applies to the ladies, but if I were a lady, I would never do that. What if I die in the process? What if the pregnancy had issues along the way? Just what if...? And then that becomes the end of me? Nooo. Surrogacy is a very dangerous game to play, it may look simple, but very stressful all because of money. Being pregnant on my own is a joyful experience than doing it for money.

Have you being tempted or lured into the very things you vowed not to do to get money? Kindly share with us your experience.

Yes, I have! Selling indian herm was something I did a long time ago but I didn't know about the business and how it works so I agreed to be getting paid since that was what I was promised. Those little money was like gold to me but when I tried to stop, my friends told me that I cannot because I would lose out so many money.

After thinking about it, I went back again because this time, I needed the money so desperately. I continued with them until the day I was arrested and others fled, I learnt my lessons afterwards.

Why have you chosen not to cross certain line because of money? Use your point as a strong advice to your readers.

Because as a true believer, there are things that block our glory from shinning. We know the truth from the word, but when we refuse to apply those truth to our daily living, it becomes a problem for us. But the unbelievers who things seems to be working for do not know the truth and so they still operate under the spirit of the world.

Money is helpful unto all men, but the love for it leads to eternal destruction and so if I know the truth, why indulge in those acts? Why act like I don't know and follow the unbelievers to say the same things? I have been redeemed so I know what I carry and I have come to the understanding of who I am and the grace I carry, so I cannot be found in lust for money.
