“Come And Get The Best Offer At No Cost!”
There’s an age-mate of mine in the village who has been insane since our primary school days. The story we heard was that he was in love with a girl and was not courageous to approach the girl. He went to a witchdoctor who gave him a balm to apply on his palms and touch the girl with on that same day. He foolishly rubbed his palms with the charm without yet locating the girl. He then went to the girl’s compound but learned that immediately after school she went to carry food from the farm. He dashed to the farm which was about five kilometres distance. On arriving at the farm he discovered that the girl had taken a by road which he did not know. By the time he returned home the charm had expired. He immediately became mad from then till now.
These kinds of stories abound of people using money to buy charms and supernatural powers for various ends.
It is very expensive in regards to the terms and conditions that apply to belong to any esoteric fraternity which promises a good life at no cost! With the devil nothing goes for free! He does not offer any free lunch. What he gives with the right hand, he takes with the left hand.
Going after the good life in the wrong way is a typical affirmation that when you give the pig food in a plate, it would first rub it in mud before eating. We have someone who offers us everything for free. He is our God incarnated in his Son who is our Lord and Saviour!
The Lord beckons, “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live…”(Is.55:1-5).
My friend, imagine that your father leaves behind an inheritance among which is a slave. In the will he asks you to choose just one of his properties and leave the rest to the slave. Do not settle for less by going for money or any landed property. Choose the slave and you own all the other things. Jesus says, “choose ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all the others will be added unto you.”
Yes, take the free offer of the Holy Spirit who alone makes you rich with all other spiritual gifts with their concomitant benefits.
Sunday prayer: Lord Jesus Christ thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit who makes me rich in both the physical and spiritual. Amen!
Have a blessed Sunday! Peace be with you!
