MORE IS NEVER ENOUGH

MORE IS NEVER ENOUGH

Many years ago I graduated from the University with my first degree only to discover that I did not have even a suit to boast of. With the Convocation (Graduation Ceremony) fast approaching I must have a nice suit on which to place my hard earned academic gown. So, I began saving up for the suit. A week before the Great Convocation, my custom made suit was ready. It was a black suit that was bound to look nice with a white shirt and a black tie.

After the glorious convocation, I discover that the same black suit had to be worn to special occasions, Church meetings and people’s weddings. Just one black suit. I felt that I needed other colours of suit. In no time I added cream, blue, purple, white and striped suits. My wardrobe was a mini boutique for men!

Now I have many suits. But the only limiting factor is that no matter how many suits I have, I must not and I dare not wear more than one suit at a time. To do otherwise would arouse the interest of my friends who might want to organize deliverance service for me. For it is only a crazy man who will wear more than one suit at a time.

As an Assistant Lecturer, I envied my friends who had Television sets. So, I prayed to have one too. By the time I purchased my Black and White TV, my neighbour had bought himself a Colour TV. So I went into prayer and fasting until I obtained my own Colour TV. By the I was rejoicing in the fact that I was a proud owner of a Colour TV, my friends have added Video Player to their TV set.

By faith, I started piling up video cassettes tapes hoping that one day I would be able to purchase my own video player. Finally, the D-Day came and I installed my own video player. It was then time to relax after supper and watch beautiful movies.

Presently I have many video tapes and compact discs that I have not played in years. Yet I still desire to buy more. It appears that More is Never Enough!

That reminds me of a Latin proverbs which says: “The Desire to have increases with having”. In my country, the landlord collects, from his tenants, three years rent in advance so that he can lay the foundations of more apartments to rent out.

A musician from the northern part of the country has this to say: “If you have 50 Houses, you can only sleep in one of them at any given time. And When you get into one of the Houses with 50 rooms, you can only sleep in one room at a time. And when you get into a room with 4 beds, you can only sleep on a bed at a time”.

And may we quickly add that when you lie on the bed, you either lie on your back, belly, left side or right side at a time. All your four sides cannot be on the bed at the same time. Remember that the same sleep that eventually catches up with you is the same sleep that the mad man under the bridge enjoys.

So, my friend, more is never enough. Seek the LORD JESUS, and HE will give you satisfaction with the little you possess right now.

Come into my life LORD JESUS in the Power of the HOLY SPIRIT, and make me a Child of GOD. Thank you for saving me: I know that I am now born again to enjoy the New Life in JESUS. In JESUS Name I pray. Amen”.
