Beware of them.

"Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing", this was Jesus warning us about false prophets in Matthew 7:15. But I won't be talking about prophets here, it's about human beings in general. I narrated a story on noise.cash yesterday. Actually, it was a short clip I saw on my WhatsApp status which I decided to translate into writing. Here is it;

You can spare some time to read the story before continuing.

The truth about life is that many of us are so eager to help one another, but the wickedness of other people had stopped us from helping which also affected the innocent ones. We then look as if we do not care, whereas we do. We are just being careful not to fall into the ditch set up against us.

I remembered my lecturer some years ago during my NCE program. He was driving home and he decided to show sympathy for some students by dropping them along the way, they alighted and thanked him. Unknown to my lecturer, the students had stolen his phone. He got home and couldn't find his phone anymore. Since that day, he stopped lifting people from the road because of his experience.

We all would believe that God is always with those He loves, especially those who cares about others with a pure heart.

Human beings are wicked. You want to help them but they pay back stabbing you at the back. I stopped giving alms to beggars long time ago because of different stories I have heard about them and for me not to be a victim of disappearing, I stopped helping which has also concerned the good ones. But how do we know the real ones from the fake? This is why we need to be careful of those who pretend to be good, whereas they have this cruel act in their heart. How do we know what's in their heart? Only God can protect us from people like them.

We have seen a situation where a wealthy man who lived all his life being a Philantropist and giving to everyone which they all benefitted from. Somehow, things turned out in the opposite for the man, then those who have eaten from him would turn their back and act as if they do not know him again because something had happened to him. Is that life?

Some people tend to forget quickly the help rendered to them within an instant and it makes the doer a fool to have helped them in the first place. Who are we deceiving?

You have a home and you decided to help one who doesn't have, just to sleep and wake up in your home, then such person steals your properties just as an experience @gertu13 had sometimes ago. Are we being ungrateful? Why are some humans like this?


A married woman decided to harbour her friend who was deported from the overseas, pending the time she would get a job and rent her own home into her house. The friend started lusting after the husband and she went to an herbalist for a charm. She poisoned the woman and charmed the husband. After few years, her secret was exposed and she was arrested. The wife is already dead and nothing can be done to bring her back. The man is back to square one of being a bachelor.

What was her offence? Does she deserves to die after trying to help her friend?


In my tribe, we would always say "the heart of a man is so deep, that we can't identify the wicked ones"

This life has gone beyond helping everyone you see because if you feel like helping, people will condemn you especially when you are in trouble.

"What's her problem? Must she help always?" These are words used to criticize the victim and you start regretting your actions.

Should we then stop being nice to people again? At least the Bible tells us to help one another. What if you decide to do someone a favor and you are treated badly? Would you rather stop the act?

My answer will be No, keep doing what you are doing and pray alongside too. Their plans is to stop you but God's plan is way bigger than theirs.

Just as the way God saved those two guys from the other guy who planned setting them up, He will surely save you and vindicate you. You don't have to worry if only you are on God's side. He will never allow any harm come near you because He sees all things even to the deepest realm where they believe we can't see.

We can actually not put our whole trust in human beings because you would be surprised if they turned out against your expectation about them.

Thanks for reading

I did help many especially my classmates and colleagues but sometimes I lose the motivation to help since they can even appreciate what you are doing and your kindness has been abused many times. But as I reflect, I realized that I should not stop being kind since they say that kindness is contagious, I just remain kind to them and I am positive that they can feel it and they will do the same with other people.

Yes, we shouldn't stop being kind because of what others have done to repay us back. We are actually doing for God's sake and not anyone.

My husband help many times in the past and he always gets in trouble for doing so but he never stops helping until now.

The one I never forgot is when a child knocking at the door banging it hard ask for help that their friend is drowning in the river. My husband rushed to the scene but it was too late the wee boy is dead. But the police tried to do him for the incident that he has something to do it.

Mum and dad were furious after trying to help that what he gets in return to be accused of the boy's death.

I trust people I still do but sometimes I don't. I trust my instinct. I trust how I feel about them but sometimes I was wrong too.

That's so sad. He was trying to help but they wanted to use it against him as a crime he didn't commit. We should have limit to our trust in people because we may not know who is who.

Wow... This is tough and I am glad God came through for those two guys who helped that fraud of a person. Their good hearts paved the way for them because it would have gotten ugly if they found the gun.

We should just stick to doing our good because we can't control the actions of those for whom we are doing it. Humans are so quick to forget good acts...

The most important thing is that there are still people in the world who are grateful. Because of the many wicked we should not leave the few in need. This is my opinion. I always put God first in my decisions and God will put before me his answer. I love love more love than unlove. I love good more than evil. I love the needy more than the profiteer. God will see for us and give us his lights. A hug friend.

I agree with you. There are still people who are grateful and would reciprocate back and we shouldn't stop from helping people because of our bad Experience.

We should always be nice to other people. We must never give up even if they try to pull us away. Our mission is to help everyone who has the possibility to do so. Unfortunately there are people who are difficult to approach them, they do not allow themselves to be helped. But with effort and charisma I am sure that if you can fully understand them.

Hmm, humans are really wicked. We cannot know those who are bad among them but with the help of God we can. Only God can show us, and we need to be very careful about people. Help is now very hard to do not because people don't want to help but because they have experience and have seen a different event where help turn to regret to many.

This is a sad reality of life, dear Princess. We should be cautious of whom to trust. I remembered my brother who always invite his friends when there were occasions at his home. His friends were treated like kings but when my brother had a terminal illness no one ever visited him until he died. There were no friends to be found. See, there are people who only like you if they will benefit from you but if you are in need they will turn their backs on you. Nevertheless, we should not stop helping people because when we help it should be unconditional. Because God will always reward those people with a kind heart. I hope people will become more sensitive to the needs of other people.

They want to enjoy our money but they leave when they spend all with us. So sad but it happens. We shouldn't allow that stop us from being kind because there are still few people who are grateful and show it back.

Oh, Princess. Those were sad truths. There will be people who will pay back bad things at you even when you did nothing but good to them. But one thing is for sure, we can go on and still be kind with everyone, do our thing because as long as we don't harm anyone, God got us covered. He will surely shield us from harm and trouble.

The world is a mosaic of differences that blend together in a beautiful array of humans. It gives us depth, culture, awareness, beauty, and love. It gives us a life experience not found anywhere else. Let us not deny freedom, kindness and basic human rights to anyone. Hugs, Princess!

The heart of human is predictable and desperately wicked. When you are helping someone, don't put hope that they will pay you back someday for you might end up being disappointed. God won't put his children to shame.

What a cruel world we live in.

You requested them to help you scratch your back but they put thorns in their hands. You ask them to help you blow your eyes they put pepper in those mouth.

Humans are so strange to understand and be trusted so quick. Humans mind are far than we could think. Such is life.

I don’t blame those people who decided never to help others. If one should ask of their experience they we realize it worth it
