Covetousness

The Church

If you are a government official and you have looted government Treasury, return the loot.

If you are a student and you have stolen books from your fellow students and the library, return the books.

If you are a lady, a man is sponsoring your education because you have promised to marry him but deep in your heart, you know that you are not going to marry him, tell him your mind now, then return everything he has given to you.

For men, verse versa.

For your holy bible in Exodus 20:17 says

'' you shall not covet your neighbor's house,

you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or his maidservant or his ox, or his ass or anything that is your neighbor's.

Husbands and wives, if you have been unfaithful to your spouse, confess your sins to him or her, repent and do not embark on such obnoxious act again.

Brethren, it is only when you have done the aforementioned things that we humans will experience earthly bliss that brings about peace of mind and eternal life.

Everybody shout alleluia!

Congregation: Alleluia!

Pastor: You are blessed {to the congregation} Brethren if There is anybody who wants to see me concerning today's sermon, he or she should see me immediately in my office after this service.

PASTOR IN HIS OFFICE

Pastor sitting in an arm chair, there is a table in front of him and two chairs beside the table.

MEMBER OF THE CHURCH

Oma:{walk in} Good afternoon pastor, I am here in respect of your sermon this morning.

Pastor: Have your seat{oma sits on a chair}. Sister oma is there anything you want to tell me?

Oma: I can't hide it any longer.

Pastor:{surprised} Hide what?

Oma: My conscience has been pricking me, My husband is not the father of my three sons.(sobbing)

Pastor:(Shocked) Sis Oma, how? Tell me is your husband impotent? Even if he is, you are supposed to keep yourself. This is a sin against God and man. Is Mr Magnus {Oma's Husband} aware that Noah, Philip, Jack {the three children} are not his sons?

Oma: No pastor, that is the reason I am here, I can hardly sleep in the night. It disturbs me ( still sobbing).

Pastor: Stop crying, tell me how it all happened.

Oma: I met Magus in my final year at the University, I had just lost my father in a fatal accident.

Magus who works with Shell Petroleum B.P paid my school fees, bought my books and showered every member of my family with gifts and money.

When I graduated from the University, he asked me to marry him but there was a snag, he was too ugly, he was pot bellied, short, had a big head, extra large nose, sprawling lips and big eye balls.

I disliked his features.

I did not know how to say no to his marriage proposal, I like his money, gifts and kindness but I was afraid that when I eventually married him, all my children would be ugly.
