100-billion-charity note


"Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine !" (Rev 6:6)

Zimbabwe introduces 100-billion-dollar note

HARARE (AFP) - Zimbabwe, grappling with a record 2.2 million percent inflation, has introduced a new 100-billion-dollar bank note in a bid to tackle rampant cash shortages, the central bank said Saturday.


The new note will go into circulation on Monday, the bank said in a statement cited by state media, joining about half a dozen new high denomination notes already issued this year.

In January, a 10-million-dollar note was issued, then a 50-million-dollar note in April. In May, notes for 100 million and 250 million dollars were issued, swiftly followed by those for five billion, 25 billion and 50 billion.


The southern African nation, currently gripped by a post-election crisis, has been ravaged by hyperinflation which shot up from 165,000 percent in February to 2.2 million in June.

Independent economists, however, believe the official inflation figure is grossly understated, estimating it could be running between 10 million and 15 million percent.

Zimbabwe's chronic economic crisis has left at least 80 percent of the population living below the poverty threshold and mass shortages of basic goods in shops.

The rich will become richer, the poor will becomes poorer,

The Bible tells us, "Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong? " (James 2:7)

Pray, so that the church is not practicing discrimination, favoritism is forbidden in the body of Christ, pray also for those servants of the Lord, who are in debts, and for those whom cannot pay back to you, please do good to them.

I hope I have more charity than my money.

I have things to compare,

Faith, Hope, and Charity,

You know, the just will live by faith,

You know, there is hope in the Lord,

Do you know, among the three of them, the greatest is the charity?
