Good day my amazing friends in hives,
I am smogg, am here to participate in the contest in hive naija on this the topic ‘failure that thought you an important lesson and how it shape my perspective'
It is a very nice topic I must say, back then when we were small we do use to do mysterious things to our parent that some times we are caught and our parent will beat us but still we will not change we still continue because we have our own tactics.
But this one I will share now is some how funny but that is where I failed and I learn alot from it that I was able to shape my life.
Back then my mum use to give us offering every Sunday sometimes 50 naira and sometimes 100 naira me and my sister don't use to put offering we will spend the money on our way to church every Sunday we don't partake in the offering we only partake in buying sweet and biscuit.
Infact there is this song that our Sunday school teacher use to sing if we are collecting offering the song is good boys good girls put your money here don't take your money away and buy banana with it good boys good girls put your money here.
Me and my sister we will be singing but we have already buy something with it and eat upon all the preaching and advice from our Sunday school teacher about spending offering money but still we did not change because we enjoy eating our offering.
As the said 99 days for the thief 1 day for the owner, one day on our way to church we bought sweet and other things not knowing one man that knows our mother was standing looking at us and he also our Sunday school teacher.
He came to our class to see if me and sister will give offering but we did not give our offering immediately before we reach home he met our mum in the adult service and told her that we don't use to put offering in the church that he usually see us buying sweet with our money and our mum thank him very much.
When it was late at night when no body can go to any where again she call us around 9pm she ask us to kneel down we knelt down and she ask us do we put offering in the church today? We said yes that who see us when we are putting the offering we say our Sunday school teacher.
Then she say uncle Philip told her that he saw us buying sweet when going to church we can't talk again we were silent because uncle Philip even show himself to us after we buy the sweet and he even ask us I hope is not our offering that we use to buy sweet right? We said no.
We already know uncle Philip can do amebo so we can not defend our self again my mum delt with us to the extend we felt sick she have t take us to hospital received injection seriously I regret it that night that my mum beat us she carry engine belt and flog us with it if you see my body every where swell up.
Since from then we stop that character most especially me I even became a preacher to others that we use to embessle our offering money together with them to stop I began to tell them that is a sin to use God money and buy sweet with it.
They are just laughing at me by which they don't know the hell I passed through that mistake and failure that am doing thinking am smarter as come to an end and my life is shaped through that night beating I became born again I even confess in the Sunday school that I use to spend my offering money but from now hence forth I will not do it again.
The beating really thaught me a lesson and my eyes were open that if I continue with this character and I die with it I will surely go to hell fire so I have to stop I started walking with God I even became Sunday school headboy.
Still encourage children to put there offering and submit there life totally to God and my mum began to see changes in me am not longer like before again she now understand that her discipline really work on me. And she was happy to hear that am the over all leader in the Sunday school.
Thank you for visiting my blog and remain bless
