Ponzi Schemes

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. 
 - Proverb 13:11

This post is about Ponzi scheme, since mid last year (2016), the name PONZI has become so common. Ponzi Scheme is simply a weird investment where the operator pays returns to its investors from new capital paid to the operator by new investor, rather than from profit earned through legitimate sources.

The Believers has been divided over this: should believers engage in Ponzi Scheme or not? What I post is purely and solely my opinion and doesn't in anyway represent the views of an individual or group of people.

I have participated in some Ponzi Schemes and have earned few sum of money. But do you know that the First characteristic of a Ponzi scheme is that IT MUST CRASH no matter how long it takes. To me, someone somewhere is still going to lose out at the end of the day. So the question is should we engaged in it? God can bless you so quickly but not through short-cut schemes. Two plus Two will always be Four. God is not a magicians that makes Two plus Two equal Five.

While Ponzi scheme has help some people, some people has lost a great deal of money, even money borrowed.

MY ADVICE: In Ponzi Scheme, anything can happen. I advise you not to do it but if you must do it, do it with your spare money. Don't ever borrow money to participate in a Ponzi scheme.  Always know this: no matter how long, A Ponzi Scheme Must Crash. It is not a matter if but of when.

Please be guided financially. It's a beautiful day, Good Morning to you beloved!

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me

Lessons From the Sons of Sceva

....the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? - Acts 19:15 One funny incident that I read in the  Bible is about the seven sons of Sceva that attempted to use the Name of Jesus to cast out demons. The demons replied them that He knows Jesus and Paul, but who are they? They were given the beating of their life. (Acts 19:11-16) Were they wrong in using the Name of Jesus? No. But truth is they don't know nor understand that Name. They only want to use it selfishly just to get the results that Paul was getting. They thought it was a rocket science. Many at times we believers are like that; We live in sin , we disobey God and when we need something, we want to perform miracles, do signs and wonders in the Name of Jesus which we really belittle or don't value.  Someone once said during a plane turbulence, he saw unbelievers even shouting the name of Jesus. No wonder some folks suffered embarrassment like the sons of Sceva.  When
