'WHEN IT IS JUST TOO MUCH' (PART 1)

* There is no problem when you have to explain things to the core.

* Personally, I don't have a problem when you have to show concern to that dejected friend or help one in need. 

* Again, noone has questioned the fact that don't be involved in church activities or be good at the work you do.

BUT... (ooh let me add this one)
* So you stayed at the family friend's house, then you visited again&again,again....hmm

Beloved, when we overdo the above I mean WHEN IT'S JUST TOO MUCH, then it becomes something else.
Too much of everything they say is bad. It's very true in many ways.

(It is these situations many will say 3hi or 3hyii paa. Yea, it is but you just have to let it slide.Difficult, I know..)

Our God created things rightly and in order. The resources we have in abundance are not meant to be wasted but to be fully utilised by his greatest creation.
(This, man continues to fail at)

In fact,our God can & indeed provide everything in abundance for us. However, he requires us to use it rightly& in moderation.

In John 10:10, he says I have come so that they may have life,and have it abundantly.
However,  rhetorically, does it mean we can do anything with our lives?

Our elders say '3nam dodo) ns3e nkwan' which literally means 'Too much meat doesn't spoil the soup.'
However, the same elders say '3kom de wo a, y3n fa y3n sa mmienu 3ndidi'(Being hungry doesn't mean eat with your two hands)

We go into the details of the above situations but first let's look at what the scriptures mainly from the books of wisdom say 'WHEN IT IS JUST TOO MUCH'

Proverbs 10:19
Sin is unavoidable when there is much talk, but whoever seals his lips is wise. (God's Word Translation)

Proverbs 25:16
If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.

Proverbs 25:27
It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory.

Proverbs 25:17
Do not set foot in your neighbor's house too often. Otherwise, he will see too much of you and hate you.

Proverbs 23:19-20 Listen, my child, be wise and give serious thought to the way you live. Don’t associate with people who drink too much wine or stuff themselves with food.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal;...

On MESSAGE FOR THE EVENING, I bring you PART 2 of this as I delve deeper.

SO I SAY:
AVOID THIS
'WHEN IT IS JUST TOO MUCH'
