Heyy people. Youre
welcome to today's edition of Christians of Today. I am Channa. I'm sorry i
didnt post last week. Hope your weekend went well. Here's wishing u a blessed
week. Please grab a drink and enjoy today's post. Its Christians of Today...and this is Maureen's story
That morning Maureen
went out to get foodstuff, herself and her husband had been smoking weed all
night and now some food was
needed.
Her sons had joined
them in the morning and they all
had “swell times”.
They had huffed and
puffed and almost literally blew
the house down.
This was their usual
cycle.
Smoke, drink, party and
sex was the order of the day
In the Macaulay's’. Incest
between Maureen and her two
sons. “Incest Gayism” if such
words ever existed will
be best to describe the
relationship between Maureen’s
husband and the two
sons. Sometimes, the kids invited
their friends over and
they all had different types of
sex with the parents
inclusive.
On getting to the
market, she saw a pretty young woman
talking about
Christianity in the market. The young lady
looked so much like
Maurice. Maureen tried so much to
hate the young woman,
but she couldn’t. Her voice as
sweet as her face; her
smile was heavenly. She kept
reminding Maureen of
Maurice.
“How can this pretty woman be preaching Christianity?
Ugh” she thought.
The dreaded flashback
peeped it face in her head. She
remembered the fire, it’s fume, the
screams, her sons,
her daughter, the
pleas, the refusal, the tears, her
husband; ;weirdly she
remembered Barbecue.
She tried to forget but
the more the young woman spoke
about Christianity the
farther she went in deep thoughts.
Her daughters tears
kept echoing.
She hurriedly bought
her goods and headed back home.
The thoughts of her
freshly mowled weed brought smile
but she teared up
almost immediately.
“Maurice has a way of finding her getting back into my
head.” She thought
aloud.

“Woman, warn Maurice your daughter to stop going to
church” Jullio
barked.
His voice was fierce
and thunderous. Maureen knew that
either herself or
Maurice will receive a cut. She
quickly took cover By
defending herself with some
statements. Leaving
Maurice in her usual vulnerable
state.
“MAURICE! Denounce Christianity now! ” Julio
pronounced.
Maurice eyes watered
her legs were weak. She ran
races in her head. She
wondered why she couldn’t be
left alone with Jesus
and Church.
Maurice gave her life
to Christ barely a month back.
Even though she hadn’t been a
Christian, she had never
lived her family’s kind of
life. Her different life
earned her rape from
her brothers and dad, empty
stomach from her
mother.
She usually felt empty
until she found Christ. Maurice
held on to her beliefs
to Jesus and His teachings, so
letting go was not an
option let alone a choice.
“No Dad! I can’t renounce Jesus. He saved me, I can’t
deny Him now because he
never denied me…”
Boom!!! Gunshot and
groaning respectively.
Maurice hit the ground
holding her blood filled left leg.
Her father shot her leg
with his pistol. He asked her
again to denounce but
she utterly refused.
“Kennedy, Kevin get out here and prepare the braai”
Maureen couldn’t watch the
scene so she locked herself
up but the fume and
screams where all over the house.
Kennedy and Kevin
carried Maurice over the braai, the
hot coal underneath
heated her skin. She screamed and
won’t stop
calling Jesus.
Their father instructed
them to leave her on the braai.
In few minutes she had
third degree burns.
Julio was “grilling” his daughter
. He made sure that
she was burned all over
till she entered coma.
Maurice finally died
from intense burns, dehydration
and multiple injuries.
She died for Jesus. How
wonderful.

Years after Maureen had
given her life to Christ and
was telling the story
of how her Late Husband burned
their daughter to
death. Her daughter died so she can
live. She never stopped
adding that Clara was heaven
sent. Clara was the
woman from the market.
Clara had many
encounter with Maureen one of which
led to repentance and
been born again.
Hello reader,
Thanks for coming thus
far.
I was talking Jesus
Christ
Jesus is weeping just
like Maurice
We keep getting lost
like Julio
You and I keep nailing
Jesus like Kevin and Kennedy.
We could be found like
Maureen you know?
God’s grace will
soon be over,
Jesus is coming soon
He will sieve the shaft
from the wheat
He will spit out the
lukewarm.
If you miss heaven you
won’t miss hell
Think about it !
Did this touch you?
Then join me every Sunday as we
walk back to Jesus’ ever open
arms.
Please drop your
comments thank you
God bless.
Channa
