In the first part, the elder wanted Okonkwo to be humbled, and not so derogatory to other lesser men, but in doing so, he chose a common phrase to get his point across. Everyone knew Okonkwo came to his success not through luck but by hard determined work. His success despite his first poor harvests (due to weather) further highlighted his hard work surpassing the ill hand he had be dealt; this includes the lack of inheritance from his father. As Okonkwo had worked hard, so did his chi favour him. When a man says yes, his 'chi' says yes also.
