ỌMỌLÚÀBÍ PODCAST | EPISODE 004
PROVERB CONSIDERED: "Aṣọ à-fọ̀-fún kò jẹ́ká mọ olówó."
INTERPRETATION: Clothes washed clean make identifying the rich person impossible. In other words, there is a way a 'poor' person can wash his/her clothes and take good care of it such that in public, he/she appears to be rich.
MEANING: You can manage the little you have so well that people will reckon with you as they would someone who has much more than you currently do. Based on an understanding of your identity an Ọmọlúàbí (a chosen generation, royal priesthood, holy nation, peculiar person - 1 Peter 2:9), you can manifest such excellence in and with the little you currently possess.
