E no dey measure the Spirit wey E dey give. John 3:34
For war time, when soldiers get only small food, dem must measure am share. Na only small portion wey dem measure dem dey chop each day, so that the food go last as long as e fit last. If dem no do so, the food fit finish and hunger go worry dem.
What if na so e be with God and Im grace? What if the Holy Spirit tell us, “Now, na only to one certain level I go help una. Once una use all the grace wey I dey offer una finish, una dey on una own.” Chai! That one go be serious problem.
But the good news be say na the exact opposite God dey do with us. E commit Imself to pour out the Holy Spirit fully, and E dey offer us all the grace wey we fit ever need or want. The problem be say, even with that, we still dey put limit for Im grace many times. We no dey do this because we believe say God get limit. Instead, we dey do am many times because we dey fear to allow God use Im almighty power fully for our lives.
Today, think deeply about how your life go be if you allow God do anything wey E want with you. Wetin go change? How your everyday life, your relationships, your words, your actions and your future go take different? For our mind, we know say e right to accept wetin God want fully for everything. But when e reach to really do am, we dey hesitate well-well many times. E fit be fear of wetin we no know. Or e fit be say we no really want to change fully. No matter wetin the reason be, God dey offer you grace wey no get limit as E dey pour out the Holy Spirit fully. Na you go decide whether you go put limit for am or not.
Lord wey get more than enough, I really want make You do anything wey You want for my life. I want make I enter fully inside Your grace. Help me make I tell You “Yes” no matter wetin e go lead to, and help me make I trust this glorious “Yes” wey You dey call me to talk. Jesus, na You I trust.
