It is not intended at the entire Nigerian community but some criminals of the Nigerian community are misusing the Christian generosity. I had received nearly 3 emails genuinely requesting for the Large print Bibles with different names from Nigeria with the same address. I thought this could be a genuine request and supplied very costly 3 New Bibles which I have rarely utilized for my personal study. Due to busy work schedule I didn’t verified the emails and addresses online, even though Iam very watchful on online networking.
I verified the addresses after I had dispatched the Bibles and found that there are huge Nigerian Bible scammers behind this operation. I Doubted their request because it seemed that why one would scam regarding the Bibles? people would scam for money but I thought requesting for Bibles could be genuine but later come to know on online that there is a huge demand and black market for Bibles in the Nigeria and some people are utilizing the Bibles for illegal activities.Iam writing this post because the innocent Christians are not going to fall prey to this Nigerian Bible scammers who are requesting the Bibles on same address with different names. I intend this post would lead you to the rightful eternal investments so that our God given resources are utilized in a right way. The following are the emails I had received and also my reply to them.

My wife and I needs the super giant print bibles which has very large print and we need this due to reading difficulty. Please kindly send us two copies. Also I’m using this medium to request for additional 6 super giant print bibles for the aged ones in the Sunday school class. king James Version would be preferable as we mostly use this during service.

All bibles are needed in English and please you can send them through registered or insured air-mail through post office. Post office EMS post is also very fast and safe.

Dear Bro.Sanny Izekor,
Greetings from King of Jeshurun Assembly!
Thanks for the email and the thirst you have for the word of God.
“ On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” (John 7:37-38).”
“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness” (Isaiah 55:1-2).
Very soon I will be on leave to my job and will be getting free time to send you a good English Bible which has big letters to read.God Bless you and multiply your ministry in the coming days for the extension of His kingdom.
Once again please confirm your Address via replying email.
Serving the King Of Jeshurun

Dear Brother Sreedhar,
Greetings in Jesus name and grace and peace be unto you. I am writing late because I have to go about 6 kilometres to the internet where I have to pay for ticket to use the computer. Philippians 2:13: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Blessings upon blessing, grace upon grace and His peace be multiplied unto you in Jesus name. I am so happy having to hear from you. Your letter has brought me great joy and I thank you for your concern towards our need for bibles. I have been praying since I wrote you and I know God has answered my prayers. As you sow this great seed into our lives so will God bless you and bring you plenty of harvest. I will take the news to others so we shall continue to pray for you.

Please send the bibles to us through insured airmail post office. I was there to ask on which safe means to receive them and they told me that. My postal address remains 41 Uyimwen Street, NIPQSTG-POB 3023, BENIN CITY , EDO STATE , NIGERIA . In all we need 8 super giant print bibles..
We will continue to pray for the Lord’s blessing of His joy and peace and eternal life for you and your family especially for this new year. Only the Lord knows what the new year will hold for each of us. May He enable us to make the most of the time and opportunities to bring the grace and truth of His Kingdom to our community and world so that as many people as possible will come to know and experience life with God. As the Angels proclaimed: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.!" (Ephesians 3:20, 21).
I am stopping here and shall be praying for you. The liberal soul shall be made fat and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:25. May the Lord water you with His blessings.
looking unto Jesus... Hebrews 12:1-2,
Brother Izekor

“Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.” (Matt 10:41-42).

Thank you for your post. I have also received similar emails recently but thank God I have not sent them any Bibles.
ReplyDeleteAccidently came upon your blog and was shocked to see a very similar email. Your post was enlightening!
It saddens me to see people like that use the name of God in vain.
May God bless their souls.
Thanks for your timely post.
ReplyDeleteI received similar emails and was I shock to see one exactly the same on your post. Stumbled upon your blog by chance...
I have no intention to entertain such requests from Nigeria. Its a shame that people use the name of God in vain.
Hi Pilgrim thanks for visiting the KING OF JESHURUN.It is my sincere effort that the Children of GOD will not be deceived by these enemies of God who are Misusing the generosity of the Beleivers.These are the terrorists who even tried to hack my site for proclaiming the truth.However I could resist these terrorists efforts by the power of God (Psalm 121).I praise God that it is enlightening His people around the Globe.Please pass this information to your near & dear.
ReplyDeleteKingdom Blessings!
I have received many requests for finances to attain Bibles as well.
ReplyDeleteUsually I try to direct the person to agencies such as the Gideons or the American Bible Society that supply free Bibles. It seems that the people looking for Bibles find Gideon Bibles (which come in a variety of versions and a variety of styles), inacceptable and only want money for their brand of Bibles.
