THE POWER OF ASKING

A forwarded mail which says much says:

I was dazed as if I have never read that part of the Bible before when somebody drew my attention to what Cain – the first murderer in the Bible – said after God had banished him from the land and cursed him for killing his younger brother.

“And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him” (Genesis 4:13-15 KJV).

Although he was not repentant for what he has done, he still dared to tell God that his punishment is too great because everyone that sees him will want to kill him. You know what? God obliged him. God placed a mark on him that no man will be able to kill him.

Wow, if an unrepentant murderer got a seal of protection from God simply because he dared to ask, how much more His Calvary-ransomed blood-washed children.. God will certainly do much more if only we dare to ask.

Since that day, it dawned on me that since I have a more justified standing before God by the blood of Jesus than Cain, I am entitled to more of divine protection, guidance, prosperity, inspiration, wisdom, health and every good thing that God if only I can ask. This also applies to you if you are a child of God. The Bible said, “….. ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:24 KJV).

From nairaland.com to nairalanders.com – Join an Investment Club today?

October 16, 2007 mypenmypaper 24 comments

Below is the email I received from some guy last week.

I was just thinking that this boy Effiong should have thought of a better and more unique name for such his investment club, rather than adding ‘ers’ to ‘nairaland’ and hoping to make a kill for the money.

Recently, a 58-year old woman lost about 1.3million to such High Yield Investment funds.

While Mr Oko Emeka at Kwenu newspapers has an interesting article about Why ‘victims’ of 419 should not be pitied, Sonala O at nigerianvillagesquare.com says Nigeria needs a 419 czar.

anyway, heres the mail. be the judge

JOIN AN INVESTMENT CLUB TODAY

Financial independence has become a major literature in the world of today. Nobody exactly wants to be dependent on any one in any way. As thus, people have found several ways to money so that, they wouldn’t have to look to any one for their daily upkeep and every other necessity.

But here in Nigeria, it wouldn’t be news to say that there is hardly any one that is taught how to make money in school and considering the fact that, Nigerians are still at that level of economical development where it is almost impossible to earn a decent living without any form of formal (tertiary) education.

But glory be to God (as we are also very religious people), it is now possible to earn a living without having to go be professor of some sort. The ones that have gone to so many schools and have started so many companies have registered these firms on the Nigerian stock exchange and now require our( the masses) little bit of pocket change to help them continue being in business.

I am certain that I wouldn’t have to elaborate on the workings of the Nigerian stock exchange to make anybody understand that investing in stocks and bonds is the easiest and surest way of immunizing against the disease called poverty.

To this end , an invention that will ensure that every one that shows any atom of interest in the idea of running away of poverty as been in place for close to a hundred years(but only just getting popular in Nigeria).

Investing in stocks is as easy as buying and selling for a profit but actually having enough money to buy as much as is necessary is always the issue.

This is where www.nairalanders.com steps in.
It has been proven time and again that ,the easiest way to operate in the stock market is by joining an investment club.
But also, finding the right people to start an investment club with can also be an issue.
This problem is absolutely erased on
www.nairalanders.com , here we get people who are interested in joining an investment club to meet each other and discuss the modalities and issues surrounding to development of an investment club. They do all these online and later get to meet offline when they have actually decided they can operate with each other.

www.nairalanders.com also provides all basic information that is required to run the club at no charge.
These includes

1. Legal ties
2. Profit sharing
3. Constitution (debatable and modifiable)
4. Up to date information all stock markets around the world
5. Detailed information on all other businesses that clubbers can invest in
6. and ultimately, a website (

GOAL
The goal of
www.nairalanders.com is to popularize the concept of investment clubbing among Nigerian and use that as a platform to educate the populace to joys of been an ardent invest and thus taking charge of ones own life and channeling it on the part to financial freedom and successful living.

We intend to initiate, mentor and nurture the growth of a minimum of 500 investment clubs in the next 5years all within the country.
This way we will know we have done our quota towards emancipating humanity from the strangling grip of poverty.

THE DREAM
We (
www.nairalanders.com) intend to start a mother investment club which would be a conglomerate of all the investment clubs that started on it.
And with that number, strength and financial capability, we can start anything like: – microfinance banks to cater for the business needs of our club members etcetera……….. I mean we could invest in anything we want and continue to make our wealth grow.

But first things first, we all have to join www.nairalanders.com and find our fellow club members. Every thing required will be provided.

I will be expecting you.
