Let me tell you a story that didn’t even happen to me, but the moment I heard it, I laughed so hard my stomach hurt(hear say).
This one came from a friend who attended a midweek service at her church. You know those services where the prayer is loud, the worship is deep, and everyone is either speaking in tongues or weeping softly in the corner?
Anyway, the pastor stood up and said,
If you fasted today, come forward and testify about how God kept you.
Cue the holy saints walking up. People testified one after the other how they didn’t eat from morning, how the hunger nearly blinded them but God saw them through.
Then came a woman let’s call her Aunty Peace with her son holding her hand, she walked slowly, like she had just stepped down from Mount Sinai.
Then she grabbed the mic and said....
I just want to thank God for helping me fast today, It was not just easy at all, but grace carried me.
Before she could take another breath, her little boy shouted from behind her:
But mummy, you ate bread and two eggs this morning!
The mic went silent. People blinked. You know that collective gasp a congregation does? Yeah .... it happened.
The boy, bless his honest little soul, continued:
You said fasting makes your head hot, so you ate and said God will understand!
Apparently, this boy wasn’t done. He even exposed her conversation with someone else:
You told Aunty Grace you’d pretend today!
At that point, everyone was looking at her like, So… do you want to explain?
Even the pastor couldn’t hold it in. He said,
Sister, would you like to clarify that testimony?
My friend said Aunty Peace just smiled awkwardly and muttered,
God knows the heart, then quietly returned to her seat. No altar call could save her.
Since then, that child became a kind of legend. They now jokingly call him Holy Spirit's assistant.
And now? If you didn’t fast, nobody pressures you to say a word in that church. Lesson learned.
Because one thing about kids? They will tell the full truth, with boldness, and zero shame.

Kids are pure in heart and they will never shy away from the truth. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely right. The feel no pressure to say the truth.
This is a reason why I adore some children, their honest. However, one has to be careful about the things they say and do around children.
Absolutely right. Cause everything we say or do is noticed by them. Thanks for stopping by to read
Shame raised to power 100 🤣 How did the mother cope in the remaining hours of the service? 🤣 The beating that boy go collect at home ...
