Good -Life Devotional: MONEY LAUNDERING ;A POTENT DESTROYER OF THE CHURCH AND NATION ( PART 3) 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

 A preacher was accused of using fake church crusades overseas to launder money for a former minister of Petroleum in Nigeria. Another was accused of using his private jet to carry money out of the country . Digital currencies are being used to transfer money in and out of Nigeria in money laundering schemes . 

  Here are some of the damaging effects of these schemes to the church and nation .

  5 .DAMAGED REPUTATION

Verse: “A good name is more desirable than great riches.” – Proverbs 22:1 (AMP)

Insight: A nation’s good name can be lost through corruption, affecting trade and diplomacy.

Effect: Corruption through laundering diverts resources from the poor to the wealthy elite.

Verse: “Woe to those who make unjust laws… to deprive the poor of their rights.” – Isaiah 10:1-2 (AMP)

Insight: Economic injustice provokes God's judgment and damages national harmony.

7. MORAL CORRUPTION

Effect: Normalizing illegal wealth undermines national ethics and values.

Verse: “For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil.” – 1 Timothy 6:10 (AMP)

Insight: Greed and dishonest gain corrupt the soul of a nation.

9. WEAK FINANCIAL SYSTEMS

Effect: It leads to distorted credit systems, harming banks and investors.

Verse: “Better is a little with righteousness than great income with injustice.” – Proverbs 16:8 (AMP)

Insight: God favors clean wealth over abundance gained through corruption.
