Covetousness

The Regret

Oma: (surprised and angry) Impossible!

Pastor: What do you mean?

Oma:(regretfully) I should not have confessed.

Pastor: you still have not repented, repent now so that God can cleanse you of your iniquity. You do not need to lose both sides.

Oma: Pastor you won't understand, the man who is my children's father is a road side motor mechanic.

Pastor: Then take them to him, this Is the Cross you must have to bear.

Oma: (Wearily) Noah, Philip, Jack let's us go

Noah: Where mum.

Philip: To meet your biological father.

Jack: This is incredible, a road side mechanic is our father?

Oma: yes ( she begins to weep)

(The children begins to wail)

MR MOSES HOME

In his bedroom, he is standing with his arm akimbo

Mr Moses: (talking to himself) I have touched the electric transformer so that I can die but I was not electrocuted.

I have jumped into the ocean but i did not get drown because people rescued me.

I have touched naked wires several times but I did not get killed.

I have driven my car into a running trailer, my car got damage but I was not hurt.

Yet those voices continue to tell me to confess, How can I confess this my heinous sin? God help me.

(Suddenly the voices come up again)

Voice 1: Confess how you cut off my tongue, roast and ate it because of money.

Voice 2: Confess how you plucked out my eye balls and swallowed them because of money.

Voice 3: Confess how you cut off my breast pound them to pulp and swallowed them because of money.

Voice 4: Confess how you chopped off my c******s from my corpse, burnt it to ashes and licked it because of money.

Voice 5: I have laboured with you, loved you and cared for you even when you did not have anything. My reward was for you to kill my children, put a knife on my neck and sliced it. You will never have peace until you confess.

All Voices: (Loudly) Confess! Confess! Confess!

Mr Moses: No, I won't confess, I can't stand the shame. I must find a way out of this ugly scenario

{He gets a paper and pen and begins to write, then when he is through, he begins to read what he wrote aloud}. My in-laws, brothers and sisters, by the time you are reading this letter, I must have been with my ancestors.

I came to this world a poor man but God blessed me with a good wife and lovely children but because of my excessive greed and covetousness, I used them to make money, that is why I have been wealthy.

It was no not genuine money I had, it was ill-gotten.

The spirits of my wife and my children have been haunting me. So I have chosen a cheap way to escape escape from their wrath.

Please find a place in your heart to forgive the atrocities that I have done.
