So What is the problem?
There is a principle of demand vs supply which states that the higher the demand the higher the supply. Might sound scientific but let me break it down, can a 20 liters jerican carry or store 25 liters of water? Definitely No. Even if you wanted to fill as much as possible the supply to the jerican can't go beyond 20 ltrs.
Our expectation and level of demand is what moves God to fill it. God will never force things on you, he says ask and you shall receive, he never told you how much or how small. He left you with an open cheque, what you fill on it is the limit you set yourself.
Examples from the Bible
There was a story of the Shunamite woman who went to Elisha for help due to the great debt his late husband left behind. She had a little oil in the house which the man of God asked her to go borrow AS MANY JARS AS POSSIBLE so as to come fill them with oil from the little remaining. The oil kept pouring until there were no more jar to fill. If there were more jars it would keep flowing. 2Kings 4:1-7 She set her own limit.
The brother to the prodigal son saw the younger brother place a demand on his share off inheritance. He went and squandered it and later he came back home and he still got a better treatment. When complaining his father told him that all this time am with you all I have is yours. In other words, you did not place a demand even for that goat to enjoy with your friends as you say.
Get tired of your situation, go back to your dad above and place a demand now. Don't be satisfied with stagnation, or poverty or less education or joblessness or even small business. Place a demand for better. Take a step and break the limits you have had all this while. Just because nobody from your village made it in life, it doesn't mean you wont. Break the limits of small, mediocrity and step into the more than enough that God has in store for you.
