GOD, SOCIAL MEDIA AND SPAM MESSAGES

I really do not know if I gave this post the right title
but what I have above seems to be the best I could
come up with now. I’m sure you may be
wondering what I’m about to talk about. Well,
it’s an issue that has been pissing me off for a long
time now on social media and when I start talking about it, you may find out that it’s something you
are also sick and tired of. It’s a sensational and
very fast-spreading practice among users of
especially Whatsapp and BBM. God (as they always
want us to believe) sends you a message and
threatens to wreck you or cause calamity to befall you or even kill you if you do not send it to 10, 14 or
so people. It’s very annoying. And even more
annoying when you think of the fact that graduates
and supposed learned people join in sending these
spam or should I say miracle messages to their
friends every day. Maybe they are doing it out of fear because those messages carry a lot of
frightening threats. Almost all of them will end with
warning notes that you will suffer, get broke or die if
you’ve read it but choose not to send it to the
number of people they direct. I confronted one of my friends on Whatsapp in the
days of Ebola Scare and the salt-water-bath joke. I asked him whether he thought that prescription
made sense. He said he was sending it to his loved
ones for the sake of sending and there is no harm in
doing so. And I’m wondering how people will just
get on others people’s nerves, disturb their peace,
run down their batteries and gulp their MB with inconsequential messages and claim it’s just for sending sake. Many of us are children of God, yet we are very
gullible and fearful. So fearful and gullible that we
have stopped thinking. Someone sent me this: “I
am God….send this message to the whole world
before midnight and something good will happen to
you within 13 days. A police officer read this and deleted it and had a great loss after 13 days. Don’t
cut the chain!” Another friend sent me one that
ended this way: “Send this to 10 people within the
hour of reading this, if you don’t, your wish will
become the opposite.” And people are busy forwarding and sending. Every
day, you receive the message that says that a
mysterious baby was born in a hospital last week or
that a pastor gave an angel a lift last week and they
always end the messages with a promise of an
instant miracle and a warning threat. No one ever stops to question these events that have been
reoccurring every last week for many years now.
The threats are really working! But it’s amazing how people believe even the
most ridiculous and senseless posts. One was about
a woman who was pursued by a rat. She fell and
broke one of her legs. A ‘prophetic prayer’
followed and people were threatened that if they
didn’t type ‘Amen’, evil rat may locate them. You can only imagine the number of fear-prompted
comments/Amen typed under that post. I want to ask a few questions with all due respect.
What is wrong with us? Why are we not thinking? Do
you really believe that God will punish you if you fail
to send those messages? What makes you think that
your future or destiny is tied to a message on social
media? Do you genuinely believe you will receive instant miracles after you typed 'Amen' on that post
or wake up a millionaire simply because you
broadcasted a message to 14 people the previous
day?? Please stop the joke. The breakthroughs and
success you are looking for truly begin with God but
He has laid down principles for attaining good success. Find them, live by them and you will be
successful. More so, God does not send threats to people to
make them obey Him. As a matter of fact, He can’t
do that. So stop spreading your fears….
Have a great week y’all.

Being an ex-international footballer is an advantage to get people's attention but it seemed like people were more interested in taking his pics than listening to the word of God)

Religion / Re: Full Prophecy From Apostle Johnson Suleman by norbethcimala20(m): 10:33pm On Sep 27, 2014
MKSON: During the fire night which started yesterday(26/09/2014) and ended this morning(27/09/2014),God's oracle Apostle Johnson Suleman said God revealed 9 things that would take place in Nigeria. Out of the 9,the Holy Spirit allowed him to mention only 6 as he would mention the rest this coming sunday.He revealed that;

*There would be a conspiracy against the pope in the Catholic church from his own people cos they don't like the way he's doing things. God said he would protect him because the pope is doing what He(God) wants him to do but to confirm the prophecy, there would be a sign

*There would be fuel scarcity from December to April

*Accident of politicians especially PDP(prayed to avert it but there would be a sign)

*3 airlines are going to be on strike. They are Lufthansa, British airways and Air France

*Bomb blast in Rivers State and Abuja. This blast is the mother of all bomb blasts

*Federal cabinet ministers being dropped in Abuja

He said APC should stop attacking PDP and tell nigerians what they(APC) want to do for Nigerians. God's oracle has been known for pin point accurate prophecies. Let's continue to watch and pray for our dear country and for the whole world.
