FAITHFUL FOREVER TO JESUS.
GOSPEL READING : Luke 9 : 57-62:
A MAN WHO LAID EGGS
Did Mr. Kasuku really lay eggs? Nobody knew. But the truth is that some day he imagined a testing trap and it really worked. Mr. Kasuku went to the market and bought an egg and brought it secretly in his room. The night came and as usual he slept there with his wife. Early the next morning before he left, he told his wife and said: “Darling, I have laid an egg, come and see here it is under the blanket !”
– An egg, his wife shouted ?
– Shuut! Yes an egg. DO NOT TELL ANYBODY ABOUT IT. It is a secret for you and me.
The next day, Mr. Kasuku did the same. He bought an egg from the market and brought it secretly in his room and the next morning before he left, he showed his wife the second egg he had laid. Then his wife said: “Darling, tell me now. What do you plan to do when you’ll have laid many more eggs?
– I’ll tell you when the time comes. Just keep it a secret for you and me.
Kasuku’s wife had a friend in the village. Two days later they met in the plantations and seated together talking. This woman told Mrs Kasuku how her husband was mistreating her and beating her every day since he got a second wife. So, Kasuku’s wife replied: “Oh,My friend, since you dare to tell me a so great secret I’ll also tell you something secret about my husband and me, but DO NOT TELL IT TO ANYBODY: My husband lays eggs.”
The next week, Mr. Kasuku went to the cabaret he used to hang about and when people saw him coming in, they all immediately moved away from him and left him alone at the desk. He then asked the waiter there why nobody no longer wanted to sit next to him but he received no answer. Soon, as the waiter went to serve these people with more beer, they all shouted loudly and said: “Never welcome that man any more in this cabaret otherwise we’ll all stop coming here!”
– Why, the waiter said ?
Everybody laughed again and said : “Didn’t you know that Mr. kasuku lays eggs ?”
– Eggs, the waiter exclaimed, A man Who lays Eggs?
Kasuku left the cabaret quickly and returned back home. He took a long eucalyptus stick and struck his wife seriously before he kicked her off his house forever accusing her for having told out secrets about their life. Strange, isn’t it ? But, does this true story have something special to teach us as faithful followers of Jesus?
Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the service in the Kingdom of God.”(Luke 9:62, NIV). Yes, LOVE cannot be TRUE LOVE without faithfulness. For God so LOVED the world that He gave His Son to die on the Cross as the eternal symbol of His Faithfulness to his plan to save men from the bondage of sin. Dear Brethren, one thing is true no matter what trials and temptations Satan pours on us day by day: he knows that whenever he sees the Cross of Jesus, he himself tells his mind that “God is Faithful To His Plan Of Salvation!”. Unfortunately, “Men have not responded with Faithfulness to the Holy Faithfulness of God”. And this has continually hurt the heart of God.
Whenever we break down the holy commandments of God, we are breaking down publicly the secrets of the House of God and saying : “God does not prohibit Sin !”. Whenever we lie, we are telling out in the streets of this world that “Lies are permitted in the Holy House of God”. Whenever we hate our neighbor, we are crying loudly at the crossroads of this world that “God is not Love!”. Are we on the left or on the right side of Jesus?
