A well-worn out N1000 note and a similarly distressed N10 note
arrived at the Central Bank to be retired. As they moved along
the conveyor belt to be burnt, they struck up a conversation.
The one thousand naira reminisced about its travels all over the
country, "I've had a pretty good life" the one thousand naira
proclaimed. "I have been to Lagos, Ibadan, Benin, Kano, and
Abuja. The finest restaurants in Victoria Island, Kaduna, Abuja
and Eastern Nigeria. Performances at Muson Centre and Glover
Hall, the hottest nightclubs all over the country and even a
cruise on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans." "WOW!" said the ten
naira. "You've really had an exciting life!"
"So tell me, says the N1,000 note, "Where have you been
throughout your lifetime?"
The N10 note replies: "Oh, me and my friend, N20, have been to
the ECWA Churches, Apostolic and Methodist Churches, the
Redeemed Christian Church, the Deeper Life Bible church,
Baptist Church, theC & S Church, CCC, the Lutheran Church, St
Peter Catholic Church, etc.
"The N1,000 note interrupts, "What is a church?"
"It's a place where believers in Jesus Christ gather to worship
God in spirit and in truth." replied the ten naira note.
"My masters never took me to Church" lamented the N1,000
naira note.
So, please, please and please, take N1,000naira notes to
Church.
They want to know Jesus too.
