As a kid, I liked playing with stones till one day
I threw one and it hit my mother's fowl and it died instantly. I thought i was
just alone but surprisingly, my sister was right behind me watching. Then she
said "give me #100 and I won't tell mum" I said "I don't have
but please don't tell her, she will beat me up."
The following day, Mum told her to wash the plates
and sweep the surrounding, but she said: "Mum, Felix said he will do
it" Then she came to me and said: "Felix, you wash the plates and
sweep the surrounding or else, don't forget you killed a fowl"
Without hesitating, I washed the plates and swept
the surrounding for her.
The next day, mum told her to go and fetch water
and fill the drum. She said again: "Mum, Felix said he will do it". Then she came to me and said: "Felix, you
remember that fowl?? Fill this drum with water or else...." That's how i
drew water and filled the drum.
That same day in the evening, mum sent her to the
market to buy food items, and again she said: "Mum, Felix said he will go
and buy them" she came to me again and said: "Felix, don't forget
that the fowl is still dead, go to the market and buy the food items or
else......" I just stood up and went to my Mum with tears in my eyes, I found
her sitted in the house, I went to her, knelt down and said while crying: "Mum,
I'm so sorry please forgive me. I'm the one who killed your fowl but it wasn't
a deliberate
action, please Mum forgive me I'm sorry." Then
she replied: "my son, the day you killed the fowl, I was at the window
watching everything that happened. Your sister made you her slave because you
did not want to come to me to confess and apologise. But now you have done it, you
will be free, she will no longer use u again."
MORAL: Each time we sin, God sees us and our sins
make us slaves, the moment you confess to God and ask for forgiveness, you are
set free!
