Hear another Parable: There was a certain man who was in a deep sleep, and this man started dreaming. In the dream, he embarked on a journey by foot. As he was trekking along that significant Street in the World (he who has wisdom let him understand), he got to a junction. At this junction, there were two Lanes. At the entrance of one of the Lanes, there was a signpost with an inscription: MONEY; while on the other Lane, there was no signpost. What happened thereafter?
He decided to observe what was happening on the Lane with the inscription: MONEY, because it is a very Broad Way; you can from the entrance of the Lane observe what is happening on that Lane. And the dreamer discovered that many activities were taking place at a jet speed on the Broad Lane, and MONEY was busy changing hands. Several men were selling fake/substandard products and they were making lots of money through that. Some were busy re-bagging original products. Bags of rice weighing 50 kilograms were being re-bagged to weigh 45 kilograms, and they were sold to unsuspecting buyers as 50 kilograms bags of rice. Some persons were busy adulterating original products. As they were doing all these, money was busy changing hands and the evil traders were making lots of money. The dreamer in his dream, also saw Managers of different Companies conniving with suppliers to inflate prices of items they supplied to their Companies. Some owners of Companies also connived with their Management Teams to declare fake end of year profit in order for them to cheat their shareholders. In all these, the cheaters were getting extremely rich from the money they made through unrighteousness; and so on and so forth. And the dreamer in this Parable said, I will not leave this place until I fully observe for 24 hours all the activities that are happening in this Broad Lane, before I will know the next line of action. And behold, the night hours came (remember, this is a Parable of a dreamer, don’t interpret it physically). Not knowing the dark hours in the Broad Way are more popular than the day hours. As he observed critically, he saw young boys and girls with laptops. What were they doing? FRAUD! They were all into Internet Fraud! They were making big money online through lies! Some are boys physically, but they are girls online. Some of the young boys and girls are black persons, but they are white persons online. Some sell products online, but you can never receive the products they sold to you after you have paid for them. Some are into fake love relationships with their Internet Partners; and so on and so forth. As they were doing all these, they were getting extremely rich. Let us hear the most surprising thing that this dreamer discovered at the night hours:
He saw many antichrists on the Broad Lane, each praying to his god, saying: None of my members will leave my Congregation to another Congregation. O’ God, add members upon members to my flocks. Bless all my members with abundant money. Let them be able to pay their tithes at the end of every month. At any time I ask for donations, let my members surprise me. I want the money I realize from my offering every week to keep increasing astronomically. At this point, the dreamer said to his Soul, I can never enter this Lane! This Broad Way is not good for the Soul of a righteous man who is hungry for the kingdom of Heaven. Should I be looking for evil MONEY when I heard that Jesus Christ has come again? Never!!! What followed?
The dreamer in his dream, made up his mind to enter the other Lane, which is very narrow and lonely; he was not able to see any activity going on in that Lane. I don’t care, man die but once! the dreamer exclaimed. And he entered the narrow and lonely Lane. As he trekked along that Lane, he discovered that everywhere in that Lane was absolutely calm, quiet, lovely and peaceful. And behold, as he approached the end of the lonely Lane, he saw a figure like the form of the Son of Man, wearing a white robe. And the dreamer exclaimed, is that not Jesus Christ! And the figure in the form of the Son of Man responded, I am Jesus Christ. Welcome home My faithful and obedient Servant. And the dreamer in this Parable embraced Jesus Christ and he started dancing, and he said to Jesus: O my LORD, O my LORD, so I made it to Heaven, and Jesus replied him, come, let Me usher you into the golden CITY made in Heaven, where you shall enjoy the EVERLASTING TREASURES of the kingdom of God forever; Only righteous people like you can dare enter the Lane you courageously trekked through today.
