PROVERB CONSIDERED: "Eegun àjànàkú: ó ma há ìkokò l'ẹ́nu."
INTERPRETATION: "An elephant’s bone: it will be too much for the wolf to swallow."
MEANING: This proverb is often said to warn someone who is overreaching [or has overreached] himself or herself. The simple truth is that WE ALL HAVE OUR LIMITS and we must respect that lest we break down.
BIBLICAL REFLECTION: We considered two Christianese phrases people sometimes use to justify dabbling into things for which they have no capacity: "I have the mind of Christ" and "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me."
While both statements are biblical, we must be careful to not apply them out of context. If you truly have the mind of Christ, then you will be adequately led by the Holy Spirit and not waste time and effort overreaching unnecessarily. After all, as the Amplified Bible puts Philippians 4:13, the "all things" you can do through Christ mainly applies to those things which Christ has specifically called YOU to do.
BIBLE VERSE CITED
- Philippians 4:13 (AMP) - "I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]"
