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,
the
C & 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.
