Where do you Hide your work

May we please all be seated? Greetings brethren in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Am standing here today brethren's I wasn't prepared for this! And my standing here today,

Doesn't mean that I'm neither wiser nor holier than anyone among you,

I don't do things accordingly,

Hallelujah!

"I'm a sinner, don't act surprised, how can it be that, this sinner share the word of God?

We are all sinners here, is there any one here who doesn't sin?

The congregation went silent! I knew that they wouldn't say that they are not sinners, I then resumed.

"The bible says 'he who says does not sin, makes the Lord our God a terrible liar!

We are sinners and the Holy Spirit comforts us,

Each day we are being renewed to be better human beings,

I'm glad that the Mercy of the Lord found me; I wouldn't be standing here today,

If it wasn't for God's grace and mercy perhaps right now, I would be lying down on the ground,

Not knowing who I am, but the love that God has for us, is beyond measure,

Without wasting your time let us all open on our bibles on the book of Hebrews,

Hebrews chapter eleven on verse six, Hebrews 11:6.

Our topic tonight is about FAITH!"

I preached and shared what the Holy Spirit was addressing me to speak! After the service, fellow Christians shook hands with me, they all almost said one thing, it was like they were prepared to tell me this 'powerful message man!, the service was great!, whenever the Lord chooses you next time to share his word please don't make your heart to be hard, just preach to us.'

On our way home, Trevor and Lindy kept on whispering to each other, they kept on poking, and I knew something was up but they did not want to speak.

"Come on Mon… say something, I know you've got tons of words that you want to utter."

"Ok then I'll speak!" He said "did you prepare that message today?"

"No I didn't,"

"No you are lying to us J.R you did prepare that message!" said Lindy

"So you guys think that I wouldn't speak like that without preparing?" these two people really had something on their sleeves.

"Yes!" they both spoke!

"Like really now, why should I explain myself to you?"

"Wait! I know you did prepare it!" Trevor said.

"What."

"That explains why you weren't in school today?"

"Yes you are right," Lindy agreed with Trevor.

"Come on guys, I've told you… hold it! Was the message not good enough for the both of you?" they actually got me worried. I wasn't preaching on my own accord.

"Mon… the service was on fire! The way you spoke, Mon it was like flames were coming out of your lips, God himself was speaking right through you Mon." Trevor expressed himself

"Definitely, I Agree with you again Trevor, the Joe who was speaking at the pulpit is different from this one driving now!" said Lindy.

"You know what? Suit yourselves; I won't listen to whatever you've got to say now." it seemed like these two were defaming me. I'm aware of the fact that, When the Holy spirit enters you. You can never be the same as you were before, but these two.

"Sorry my friend, if we have offended you!"

"Hey please stop at that Black and White wall,"

"What are we doing there?" asked Trevor

"That's my house, where I live." answered Lindy

"Oh it is?" I asked "But you didn't give me any direction to your house, how do I know where you live, How did I drive and come here?"

"Look Mon… you are acting strange today…" Trevor tapped me on the back.

"… And we forgive you, we will not tell anyone." concluded Lindy I was frightened myself. I knew I was driving but it never occurred to me that I might drive and reach Lindy's house, things that the Holy Spirit does sometimes do scare me, when it enters you its strange.

I sort of found myself on a similar situation today as Ezekiel, the Spirit of the Lord led him to a mountain filled of dried bones, they had no skin, and you wouldn't even recognize a relative even if you had one.

God spoke to him to breathe on those bones and he gave life to the bones, And with my situation. Trevor and Lindy kept on talking I didn't want to attend them but I ended up paying attention to them and listened whilst I kept my hands on the steering wheel Boom! Here I am at Lindy's street, it was totally confusing.

"Hey Joe, tomorrow is Saturday, I prefer that we start early for our painting lessons."

"Any time is fine with me, just come by my house and we'll continue where we left off!"

"Ok cool see you tomorrow then."

The gate opened and a mature woman stepped outside the gate.

"Wow that lady is pretty, I suppose it's her mom," admired Trevor.

"Hey Ncane." said Lindy, meaning Mom's younger sister to be precise, she lived with her Aunt.

"I've been worried sick, where have you been?" She asked.

"Am sorry, i should have called…"

"…I tried calling you several times, but your phone kept on sending me straight to voice mail…

"…Sorry I put it on silent when I got in to church."

"Ok, that's a relief,"

"Relax Ncane these two gentlemen took care of me."

"Oh sorry …?"

"…Sorry just call me Nance Nelly"

"Good evening Ncane." said Trevor, he introduced himself.

"I'm Trevor Hlatjwayo and this is my friend Joe…Joseph."

"Sorry I couldn't introduce myself properly."

"Never mind my friend he's a shy person." She smiled.

"Come on in and join us for coffee."

"No perhaps some other time we…"

"….Actually never mind the place we wanted to visit we'll go tomorrow." Trevor was so eager to enter Lindy's home. He even had the urge of coming up with a story.

I got upset. Whenever I tried to create an idea to escape, I always don't find my way with this guy. But then maybe it's for the best! We got into the house.

"Wow it's a lovely home you have here Ncane." Trevor admired.

"Yeah it is beautiful, I heard you kept on admiring my house and paintings so, where do you hide your work?"
