Hello friends!!

Briefly share with us what you understand by Money

In my opinion, money is a anything generally acceptable as a means of exchange, that is for buying and selling.

Money is seen as a purchasing power. He who has money has power. The more money you have the more power.

Back in the days in Africa, after the regime of trade by barter, money was viewed as cowries. That was their means of exchange. I don't know how it was measured but it served it purpose until colonization.

Today money has transformed into paper, polimer to be precised. But there are other forms of money like cryptocurrencies and Gold.

With money, you can't buy anything because that is the generally acceptable means of exchange.

Money is good to have , and if you don't have money you are seen as a poor person.

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

Money is very important, without it we will be limited to do the necessary and basic things of life. When there is no money, it can be very frustrating!

Even though money is so important, there are things I can not do to get this money no matter how pressured I become.

• Ritual killing

This is a fast growing fastest means to get money in this time and age at least so they think. Ritual killing involves the sacrifice of blood or human life in exchange for wealth.

I can not be involved with this practice no matter how though it gets. Ritual killing is against my conscience, my belief and against God. How can you take someone's life or a part of him just to enrich your self. Many young people are frustrated in the country and has joined this practice to make money.

• Prostitution

This is another sad way people get money. This is selling sex for money. Both male and females are now into it.

I don't see my self selling my body to make money, it's not proper in my eyes and in the sight of God. It's a sin against the body. You could contact incurable disease from that practice.

• Diabolic means

This may not be rituals but may involve certain hidden practices. Like a movie I saw the ladies became wealth by giving their money to purchase a particular powder that boosted their business.

It may look like it's nothing but at the end of the day something is taken in exchange. Therefore am afraid of anything as this.

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

Oh yes!

There comes a time in life when you need to really decide on what you stand for or what you want. Let me share you a story.

Some time ago, I was in a dilemma, I needed so much money to pay for many things. That was when I saw that movie of ladies using a harmless white powder to become wealthy. It was so catchy that I began to desire a means like that.

For days I made research about others means of making money like that. I kept going deeper until I met someone who was into such kind of practice.

She said she would show me the way if am willing to be consistent. Aah me that was born ready. I told her i am ready and she said I should meet her up at a particular venue the next day.

That night I could not sleep, I was restless not out of excitement but worry. My spirit started speaking to me, asking me why I want to go that way, has God not been faithful to me, why do you think what you want to do is free. These questions got me so word and awake.
I picked up my phone and sent the lady a text message, telling her I can't go on with the plan.

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

I have chosen not to cross certain lines because of money just to keep my peace. I don't think I would have peace of mind if I go through with some means I see some people go through.

Second reason, I do not want to cross certain lines is because I do not want to be an ancestor to my generation that they will blame for bringing curses on them. For every action, there is a consequence. I don't want to take an action that would bring curses to my generation.

The third reason is because I still believe that God can bless me with wealth. I will wait on him. He said he giveth power to make wealth, I have received the power, just waiting for the manifestation.
