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, Richard said he will do it"

slave to sin

Then
she came to me and said: "Richard, 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, Richard said he will do it"
.
Then
she came to me and said: "Richard, u 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, Richard said he will go and buy them"
.
She
came to me again and said: "Richard, don't forget that the fowl is still
dead, go to the market and buy d 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 pls forgive me. I'm the one who killed your fowl but it wasn't a
deliberate action, plz Mum forgive me I'm sorry."
.
Then
she replied: "my son, the day u killed the fowl, i was at the window
watching everything that happened.
Your
sister made u her slave because you did not want to come to me to confess and
apologise.
But
now u have done it, u 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, u are set free...
