For family and friends who have relatives and friends in abroad, I want to take a moment to address an important issue that affects most of our relationships and our integrity. It’s disheartening to hear about instances where people entrusted with money by their family and friends in abroad and they end up scamming them. We must recognize that living abroad is not as easy as it may seem. Those who reside there often work tirelessly, sometimes in multiple jobs, just to make ends meet.
Let’s not be swayed by the misconception that money is readily available on the streets abroad. The truth is that it takes hard work and dedication to succeed in a foreign land. When someone entrusts you with their hard-earned money to execute a project or invest in a business, it is vital that you handle it responsibly.
Remember, the money entrusted to you is not your personal fund. It is given to you with a specific purpose in mind, such as building a project or investing in something meaningful. Taking advantage of their trust by using the funds for personal gain or scamming them under the guise of helping them is morally wrong.
Even more concerning is the fact that even those who are considered men of God, who are supposed to uphold moral and ethical values, have been involved in such scams. This is truly disheartening and should serve as a reminder that one’s character and actions define them, not their title or position.
Do not let the fact that your brother, sister, or friend is living abroad discourage you from making an honest living. It is crucial to remember that money can be earned through legitimate means, and shortcuts will only tarnish your reputation and damage your relationships.
It pains me to receive messages from individuals abroad reporting their family members, friends, or even people they trusted with their spiritual well-being for scamming them. The loss of trust and the strain it puts on relationships are immeasurable. We must not allow greed to drive our actions or compromise the trust placed in us.
Let’s change this narrative and strive to be individuals of integrity. Let us work hard, explore legitimate opportunities, and build a better future for ourselves and our loved ones. By doing so, we not only uplift ourselves but also inspire others to do the same.
Remember, your actions have consequences, and they define the person you are. Choose the path of honesty, transparency, and responsibility. Let us rebuild trust, strengthen our bonds, and create a positive legacy for ourselves and future generations.
Stay focused, work hard, and believe in the power of integrity.
