S1E09 - A Proverb on SUSTENANCE - "Bí ebí bá kúrò nínú ìṣẹ́, ìṣẹ́ bùṣe"

PROVERB CONSIDERED: "Bí ebí bá kúrò nínú ìṣẹ́, ìṣẹ́ bùṣe" INTERPRETATION: "If hunger is removed from poverty, poverty comes to an end." In other words, whoever has food to eat is not poor. MEANING: A need for sustenance (through food) takes precedence over every other need we may have. As such, if we will take Jesus' invitation seriously to come and feed on Him (He being the "Bread of life"), we will have the sustenance we need to face every single day.
