By: Ewaen Eloghosa Enehizena. On a good Monday afternoon, going to my hostel thinking about how my day was going to end with lots of unfinished chores and tasks to deal with. Looking tired and famished, I hurriedly fell on my bed when I finally got to my hostel. And while thinking rigorously about what to devour for my stomach sake, a friend of mine offered me a plate of rice, stew with plantain and fish to eat with her. I thought to myself “wow! Just what I need right now”. But there was a tiny problem, I was too careful to eat as I wanted,I was careful not to finish everything due to my hunger and I mis-use the little favour I got. Every spoon I took into my mouth was strictly moderated. Funny enough I was contented with that though, after all, half bread they say, is better than none.
Luckily for me, I guess she noticed my being careful, so decided to leave some for me in the plate, took some fried plantain and divided the fish into two equal halves. I told her a mighty thank you but you wouldn’t believe I was still eating like I was, bit by bit as if it wasn’t mine now. Weird right? But when it dawned on me that I was given that food, and so, have everything to myself, alone, I laughed at myself and thought “funny me”. Well thank God I discovered that on time. I immediately took the plate, placed it on my thighs and you know what happens next. Not even a grain of rice was left out, and the plantain, the fish, common you know what follows.
At that moment I realized, this is exactly what most Christians face in their daily life, very contented to what they have and always scared when there’s so much, but hey, God “freely gives all things to enjoy”. Why hesitate? Why not take it and own it as your God given right. He has given us everything through His Precious Son Jesus, a high purchase with His blood. Don’t waste it, He didn’t shed His blood for nothing. Just as I was given full privilege to enjoy my plate of rice, so God has given us all privileges to enjoy all day long. Take it, it’s yours!

So many Christians ask for little, expect little nd in return get little or less not knowing that our God owns everything… Nice one!

With God we can never ask too much or even have too much because in HIS side every thing is like a dust not even our asking can reduce any of HIS wealth or neither our consuming will make HIS love for us to die.
