A friend told us a story yesterday of how her mummy called her around 10:00pm & asked to quickly fry eggs for her. She said she told her mum she was too tired& pleaded with her to allow her fry it in the morning. The mother insisted on eating the egg that night but the lady prevailed& the mother kept quiet over the matter& went to sleep.
Early in the morning, the lady went into the kitchen and
fried few eggs& garnished it well. She knocked her mum's door to serve her
the egg and hot tea. There was no answer. She forcefully opened the door &
woke the mum up to eat her egg, but alas, the mother was dead!!!
She screamed! She shook her! She shouted, ' Mummy!Mummy!,
Stand up and eat your egg. I even made hot tea for you with it, mummy I am
sorry, ' Hot tears rolling down her cheek like a might torrent. It was too
late! Her mum was gone!
She said, that scene of that night when her mum was begging
her to fry egg for her kept hunting her memory for long. If she had known that,
that will be the last meal her mum would asked for and eat from her, she would
have never delay in frying it for her that night!
Dear reader, what 'eggs' are you asked to fry and you are
saying you will 'fry' it tomorrow?. Who do you need to call now or text now or
chat now and make peace with and you are saying, 'No, I will do it tomorrow,
next week, when he/she apologies first,etc'. What if you wake up tomorrow and
that person is gone!? Or what if you never wake up tomorrow?
Who is God asking you to pray for right now, or Who is God
asking you to say a word to, give a gift to right now & you are saying, you
will 'fry' the egg' tomorrow morning?. What if you wake up and that opportunity
is no more there?
Oh, sinner friend, why can't you 'fry this egg' of salvation
tonight? Ask Jesus to come into your heart right now! Tomorrow might be too
late to 'fry this egg'!. Do it now!
Is your dad, mum, spouse, children, neighbors calling you
for help/forgiveness right now & you want to delay till tomorrow before
'frying the egg' for him/her/them, what if the opportunity is no more there
tomorrow?
Gather yourself together, whatever 'eggs' you need to 'fry'
tonight, go ahead and 'fry' it! No one can guarantee tomorrow, we only have
Now! "Fry the egg" now!
