PIDGIN GOD DEY FOR ME?

PIDGIN GOD DEY FOR ME? 

Romans 8:31 AMPC 

So wetin we go talk about all dis one? If God dey our side, who fit stand against us? Who fit be our enemy if God dey our corner?

 

E be like say people and things dey always dey against us, abi? Sometimes e go even be like say na only us waka come, or say nothing dey work for us. But if God dey for us, nothing for this earth fit really come against us. If God truly dey your side, who or wetin for this world fit stand up against you?

Different things for life fit rise up against us—anybody wey no dey hide for inside God go chop defeat, but those wey dey hide for inside God, na God go help fight for them. Who among us get the power to face the kind enemies—both the ones we see and the ones we no dey see? 

Ephesians 6:12 talk say, “Na spirit we dey fight, no be human being—na different wahala, evil power and wickedness for high places—where we for no fit win without God wey dey our side.” And 1 John 4:4 talk am say, the Holy Spirit wey dey inside us, big pass anything wey dey this world.

Many things for life fit turn against you—friends, family, work people, school, teacher, papa, mama, husband, wife, anything! But remember say na only God no go ever turn him back against you—na why na only God dey for you for real.

Even our own mistakes—both the ones we make years back—fit dey used against us. 

How e go be if dem dey use old error judge us? Nobody go gree! That time, Adam Clarke papa—one big preacher for old England—tell Adam teacher say e no sure say him pikin go do well for school. The teacher answer say, “The boy dey shine for my eye!” Adam hear that one—and e change im life. E no gree make papa limit am, na so e become one of the best Methodist preacher and write big Bible commentary before e die for 72 years.

If God dey your side, who fit stand against you? Nobody! God pass everybody and everything—God big, strong and power pass anything or anybody for this world and even heaven wey want do you bad. 

People fit dey measure you, judge you, based on their own view—no be say na your action or how you look, but just because dem want do am.

This Bible verse really dey encourage person: “Wetin we go talk about these things? If God dey for us, who fit dey against us?” 

Even for him family eyes, David na just shepherd boy befor (1 Samuel 16:11-12), but for God eye, na king him be! People dey like to give label anyhow from day one wey person dey born. 

Somebody go talk say, “You just resemble so-so person,” or say “You no sharp,” or call person “plain Jane” or “loser”—before you know, person go come believe all those wahala way dem talk.

Paul wey write Romans talk say all the suffer we dey pass, e no reach the kind glory we go get. If God Spirit dey with us, anything wey fit come, God go carry us pass am, and God dey arrange everything for our good (Romans 8:29-30). If God dey for us, who fit dey against us?

Who fit dey against us? NOBODY!

True true, people fit do us bad, we fit even suffer, but nothing fit finish us—at the end na Jesus glory we go enjoy forever. Even if we suffer, we no go destroy. No matter as things bad, make we remember—God dey for us!

So abeg, drop all those bad labels and limit from your mind, trust God. If God dey your side, you go climb up, nothing fit hold you down! Na only God fit destroy person spiritually (Matthew 10:28), so make you dey fear and thank am say Him dey for us and no be against us. (Extract from "The Spirit of Prayer")

GOD IS FOR ME?

GOD IS FOR ME? 

Romans 8:31

 

Things and people are always against us, aren’t they? Or at least it may seem so—sometimes when things aren’t going our way and it feels like we’re on our own—but if God is for us, nothing on earth can come against us. If God is and be for you, who or what on earth can be against you?

Everything in life will rise and come after us, defeating those of us not hiding within the Lord, while getting defeated on behalf of the dwellers. Has any of us got the strength necessary to best the enemy, seen and unseen? 

As Ephesians 6:12 says, we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood but against things unseen, supernatural powers, evil and wickedness in high places that we would never defeat without God, who is for us. And 1 John 4:4 concludes that the one who is in us, the Holy Spirit, is greater than everything in the world.

So many things in life will come against us—friends, families, organisations, schools, teachers, parents, spouses, and more—but remember the only one who’ll never come against you is the Lord; that’s why He’s the only one who is for us. 

Our shortcomings can even be used against us, including the foolish mistakes made years ago. 

Would we like to be measured with these yardsticks? Don’t think so! When the younger Adam Clarke’s father, one of England's most prolific eighteenth-century preachers, told Adam's teacher that he didn't think his son would do well in school, the teacher replied, “He looks very bright to me.” Adam heard those words—and they changed his life by letting him out of the box his father put him in. Clarke lived to be 72, became a famous Methodist minister, and gave the world one of its greatest Bible commentaries.

If God is for you, who can be against you? God will always be bigger, better, mightier, stronger, and more powerful than anyone and anything on the earth or in heaven that may come against you. 

People will judge and measure you based on their perception and expectations, not necessarily because of what you’ve done, said, or look like, but just because they can. 

Our text, one of the most encouraging Bible verses we see in the scriptures, says, “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”

In his family's eyes, David would never be more than a shepherd, in 1 Samuel 16:11-12, but to God, he was Israel's next king. It's amazing how people categorise us the moment we're born. 

Somebody says you “look exactly like so-and-so” or convinces you that you're “just an average student,” or a “plain Jane,” and a victim or loser, and before we know it, we start believing their assessments and opinions.

Paul explains that our current sufferings pale in comparison to the coming glory. The Spirit of God will be with us to help us through anything that comes against us, and God works all things for good says Romans 8:29-30. If God is for us, who can be against us?

Who can be against us? No one! 

Sure, we can be persecuted and hurt, but eternally we will live and bask in the glory of Christ forever. Though we may suffer, we will not be destroyed. No matter how bad things seem, we must remember that “God is for us.”

So, get rid of labels and life-limiting thoughts, and trust God. With God in our corner, we can rise to the top! God is the only one who can destroy us eternally according to Matthew 10:28, so fear and praise His name that He is for and not against us. (Extract from "The Spirit of Prayer")

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

Have you ever felt like everything and everyone was against you? How did remembering that God is for you change your perspective or response?

Do you struggle with believing that God is truly on your side? What scriptures or experiences can you hold onto to strengthen your faith?

Can you recall a time when God defended or stood by you in a difficult situation? What did that teach you about His faithfulness?

What fears or insecurities do you need to surrender to God today, trusting that He is for you?

PRAYER: Thank you, Father, for always being there for me. I am assured that even if everyone leaves and comes against me, you won’t ever give up on me. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus’ name, amen.

PIDGIN GOD WATCHMAN

PIDGIN GOD WATCHMAN 

Ezekiel 3:17 "Man pikin, I dey make yu di pesin wey go wosh ova Israel pipol. Yu go tell dem di warnin wey I give yu. 

 

Most houses and companies wey fit afford am dey get watchman—person wey dey look after their property, make thief or bad thing no happen. Bible describe God watchman as person wey God appoint to stand guard—physically or spiritually—over Him people, with serious duty to dey alert, warn, and take responsibility.

God watchman na guard wey dey protect him station from sudden enemy attack and other danger wey fit show. For old Israel, dem dey put watchman for high wall or tower. Their work na to dey look out and warn people if danger dey come. The watchman go lean forward, dey use eye check wetin dey happen from him high position.

God dey appoint believers to be watchmen for anywhere dem dey. People dey depend on watchman to dey spiritually alert and blow alarm if wahala dey come.

God watchman no fit sleep on duty, because people dey rely on am to warn dem about danger, guard dem from sin, and talk about judgment wey dey come.

For old Israel, watchmen dey wall, tower, or field, to spot danger—like enemy army or thief—and blow alarm, as we see for 2 Kings 9:17 and Isaiah 21:6–8.

The Hebrew word for watchman, tsaphah, mean “to look out” or “keep watch,” and to dey watch for God na wetin every believer suppose dey do.

God appoint prophets as watchmen—not just to guard physically, but to warn God people spiritually.

God watchman na guard, guide, person wey dey alert and dey observe, keeper of God instruction, and watcher.

We need God watchmen now pass before. Isaiah 62:6 talk say God put watchmen for wall to dey watch day and night without rest.

Watchmen dey needed to guard, keep, and guide the flock, heart, city, and nation from bad influence and attack.

As God watchman, you gats know your post and stay there—dey alert to blow horn. We see good example of watchman for 2 Samuel 18:24–27. Our duty as watchman na to dey watch gate.

God fit call you to be watchman for one specific place, meaning say you go dey prophetically guide, dey guard gate or city entrance, and protect from danger.

Watchman must be person wey dey pray—wey go cover people with God protection, and seal any gap for hedge wey enemy fit use enter with attack or spiritual wahala.

Na the people go decide whether dem go hear or ignore the warning.

I dey like talk say we be God secret agents—Him special forces and spiritual spies—wey dey look out for wetin dey happen for land and take authority over anything wey no pure, as Matthew 18:18 talk.

God appoint prophets as spiritual watchmen over the soul of Him people. Dem dey called “Son of man,” wey God make watchman so that Him word go reach people as warning through the prophet, as we see for Ezekiel 33:7 and Hosea 9:8.

God don set church, spiritual, and ministry leaders as Him watchmen for this time. Hebrews 13:17 talk say make we obey our spiritual leaders and do wetin dem talk—inside God word and kingdom principles. Watchman work na to watch over our soul and give account to God.

Disobedient and blind watchman fit leave him post, and the people wey God send am to protect go suffer danger, as Isaiah 56:10 talk. Obedience na the only way for true watchman.

God watchman, stay for your tower and no leave your post.

PRAYER: Papa God, thank You say You appoint me as Your watchman to dey spiritually guard and pray for Your people. Help me to dey alert to warn, strong to pray, and obedient to talk Your truth for the protection and well-being of Your people, in Jesus name. Amen.*

GOD’S WATCHMAN

GOD’S WATCHMAN 

Ezekiel 3:17

 

Most homes and industries that can afford it have watchmen—people assigned to keep an eye on their property, protecting it from theft and vandalism. The Bible describes God’s watchman as someone appointed to stand guard—physically or spiritually—over God’s people, with the solemn duty of vigilance, warning, and responsibility.

God’s watchman is a guard responsible for protecting their station from surprise enemy attacks and other potential dangers. Ancient Israelite cities often stationed watchmen on high walls or in watchtowers. Their job was to keep watch and warn the townspeople of impending threats. The watchman leans forward, training their eyes on what can be seen from the tower of their high position.

God appoints believers to be watchmen over the land, wherever they find themselves. People depended on the watchman to remain spiritually vigilant and sound the alarm if the city was in danger.

God’s watchmen can’t afford to fall asleep on the job, because the people rely on them to warn of impending danger, guard against sin, and warn of coming judgment.

In ancient Israel, watchmen were stationed on city walls, towers, or fields, tasked with spotting danger—like invading armies or thieves—and sounding the alarm, as seen in 2 Kings 9:17 and Isaiah 21:6–8.

The Hebrew word for watchman, tsaphah, means “to look out” or “keep watch,” and keeping watch for God is what every believer ought to be doing.

God appointed prophets as watchmen—not just to guard physically, but to warn God’s people spiritually.

In essence, God’s watchman is a guard, a guide, a vigilant and observant person, a keeper of the Lord’s instructions, and a watcher.

We need more of God’s watchmen now more than ever. According to Isaiah 62:6, God sets watchmen on the wall to keep watch day and night without rest.

Watchmen are needed to guard, keep, and guide the flock, the heart, the city, and the nation from ungodly outside influence and attack.

As God’s watchman, you must know your post and remain there—be alert to sound the horn. We see a good example of a watchman at his post in 2 Samuel 18:24–27. Our duty as watchmen is to keep watch at the gate.

God may have called you to be a watchman in a specific post, which means you are to prophetically guide, tend the entrance of the gate or city, and protect from danger.

A watchman must be a person of prayer—someone who surrounds others with a divine wall of protection and reseals the broken gaps in the hedge through which the enemy can break in with satanic assault, attacks, and warfare.

It is then up to the people to decide whether to heed or ignore these warnings.

I like to say we are God’s secret agents—His special forces and spiritual spies—who look out and watch what’s going on in the land to take authority over anything unacceptable, according to Matthew 18:18.

God appointed prophets as spiritual watchmen over the souls of His people. They are referred to as the “Son of man,” whom God has made watchmen for His people, so that His word would be heard as a warning through the prophets, as seen in Ezekiel 33:7 and Hosea 9:8.

The Lord has set church, spiritual, and ministry leaders as His watchmen for this age. As Hebrews 13:17 states, we should obey our spiritual leaders and do what they say—within the context of God’s Word and kingdom principles. The watchman’s work is to watch over our souls and give account to God.

A disobedient and blind watchman may leave his post, exposing the people he was called to protect to danger and suffering, according to Isaiah 56:10. Obedience is the only course of action for a true watchman.

God’s watchman, stay on your tower and never leave your post.

PRAYER: Lord God, thank You for appointing me as Your watchman to spiritually guard and intercede for Your people. Help me to be vigilant to warn, steadfast to pray, and obedient to speak Your truth for the protection and well-being of Your people, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

PIDGIN GODLY ASSOCIATION MATTER

PIDGIN GODLY ASSOCIATION MATTER

Proverbs 13:20 “Follow who get sense waka, so dat yu go get sense too;

but if yu waka with foolish pipol, na trobol go follow yu.

 

Dem dey talk say, “Show me your friends, and I go tell you who you be.” Association matter—but no be just any kind association—na godly association matter pass. Godly association mean say you dey waka close with people wey dey serious to live their life according to God Word and Bible principles. For Christian life, e mean say make you surround yourself with people wey believe in Christ, wey go help you grow spiritually, hold you accountable, and support you to follow God way.

Bible no call fool person wey no get sense, but person wey dey proud and feel say e fit live life without God.

Webster Dictionary for 1913 talk say association na when people join body for one group or society for one particular reason.

Plenty people don fall for wahala because of bad friends, and anybody wey choose wickedness go end up for destruction.

1 Thessalonians call us children of light and day, no be children of darkness or night. So, e suppose show for the kind people wey we dey follow. Good and evil no fit mix, right and wrong no dey blend, light and darkness no dey stay together—one must always win. No matter how strong you think say you be, remember wetin Paul talk for 1 Corinthians 15:33: Make una no deceive una self—if you dey waka with bad people, dem fit spoil your character.

If you dey follow wrong people, you go begin do wetin dem dey do. Foolishness and evil dey influence people just like good and wisdom.

For Numbers 16, ground open swallow many Israelites because dem follow Korah fight God and Moses. Korah influence dem negatively and turn dem against God and Him servant.

If we dey waka with people wey no get the same belief like us, wahala go dey because our values no go match.

Jehoshaphat, wey be godly king, for don die early if God no intervene when he join hand with pagan kings go fight Moab (2 Kings 3). He follow kings wey God no want make him follow.

Exodus 23:2 warn us make we no follow crowd do bad thing. Na wetin crowd dey do be that—dem dey give people fake boldness to do wrong. You need guard your individuality well well because God dey call individuals, no be crowd, to lead the crowd.

Even Apostle Paul, when he still dey fight Christians, no follow crowd—he go him own way until God call am to bring crowd come Christ.

Psalm 26:4 talk say make we avoid wicked people and their plans if we wan serve God with clean heart.

Paul still warn us for 1 Corinthians 5:11 say make we no dey associate with some kind people—even if dem call demself Christians. If dem dey live like people of the world, even inside church, avoid dem.

Bad company dey spoil many people, no matter the area of life. Once you begin follow wrong people, you go begin understand, support, and even fight for their wrong cause—without knowing say you don shift from God standard.

Dem talk say, bad company dey spoil good character!

Proverbs 14:7 talk say make you avoid people wey no fit teach you anything good. Make we dey mix with people wey go help us grow, sharpen us, and encourage us. No follow people wey no understand the weight of your calling and anointing—dem fit damage your destiny.

Follow better people.

PRAYER: Papa God, help me to always follow people wey go encourage me to do good and grow for your grace, in Jesus name. Amen.

GODLY ASSOCIATION MATTERS

GODLY ASSOCIATION MATTERS 

Proverbs 13:20

 

They say, “Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are.” Association matters—but not just any association—godly association matters the most. Godly association refers to forming close relationships and connections with people who share a commitment to living according to God's Word and biblical principles. In a Christian context, this means surrounding oneself with fellow believers who encourage spiritual growth, provide accountability, and support each other in following God's teachings.

The Bible’s definition of a fool is not a mentally deficient person, but rather one who is arrogant and self-sufficient—someone who orders their life as if there were no God.

Webster's 1913 Dictionary defines association as the union of persons in a company or society for some particular purpose.

Millions of people are brought to ruin by bad company, and those who make themselves wicked will be destroyed.

1 Thessalonians calls us children of light and day, not children of darkness or night. That being said, it must be reflected in who we associate with. There is no relationship between good and evil, wrong and right, or light and darkness. One always consumes the other. No matter how strong we think we are to not be consumed, remember Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians 15:33: Do not be deceived—if we are in bad company, we can become corrupted.

When we run with the wrong crowd, we tend to blend in by doing whatever goes. Foolishness and evil are as influential as good and wisdom.

The ground opened and swallowed many of the Israelites because they associated with Korah against the Lord and Moses. They allowed Korah’s corrupting influence to turn them against God and His servants according to Numbers 16.

When we associate with people who do not share our principles, we end up with conflicts of interest.

Jehoshaphat, a godly king, would have perished before his time if he had joined himself with the pagan kings to go against Moab—if God had not intervened. He associated with kings forbidden by the Lord in 2 Kings 3.

Exodus 23:2 tells us not to follow the crowd in doing wrong. That’s exactly what crowds do—give some people false courage, opportunity, and means to do wrong. Individuality must be guarded fiercely because God does not call and use crowds, but individuals to lead the crowd.

Apostle Paul, even in his days of terrorizing Christians, did not associate with the crowd but followed his own path—until his call to pull the crowd for Christ.

According to Psalm 26:4, avoiding the wicked and their purposes is important if we are to cleave to God in pure worship.

Paul warns us in 1 Corinthians 5:11 about the kind of people—even if they are Christians—not to associate with. He admonishes us not to keep company with such people as we find in the world, even when we meet them in the church.

A corrupt company influences many people, regardless of their sector. Once we associate ourselves with the wrong crowd, we begin to sympathize, identify, and understand their causes—without realizing that conflict has set in between them and the God-standard or principles we were meant to live by.

They say, evil communications corrupt good manners!

Avoid the society of those who cannot teach you anything good or positive, according to Proverbs 14:7. We must mix and associate with people who will enhance, sharpen, and encourage us—not those who have no idea of the weight of our calling and anointing, and who could damage us and stop us from fulfilling our destinies.

Associate with the right people.

PRAYER: Father, may I always associate with those who will positively encourage and influence me in doing right and growing in grace, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

PIDGIN WALK FOR REDEMPTION 

Ephesians 1:7 ‘Na thru Christ blood wi take get salvashon and na dis blood make God dey forgive us awa sins, bikos en grace big well-well.

 

Redemption na wen pesin buy you back from wahala, like chain, slavery or prison. Na God dey do am—e dey rescue, restore, and renew pesin life. Dis redemption na big matter wey dey from Genesis reach Revelation. No be just to save us from sin, but to buy us back, restore our purpose, and carry us enter relationship with God.

Jesus die for everybody, but na your own work to collect the gift of redemption. E no go work for your life if you no accept wetin Jesus do for cross and the sacrifice wey e make. 

Jesus buy us with e blood, so e get power over our life and soul.

1 Corinthians 7:23 talk say, “God pay big price for you, so no let the world put you for bondage again.” 

Na only through Christ we fit dey acceptable to God, because na im sacrifice God use forgive us.

You dey waka for this redemption wey cost Jesus im life? 

Isaiah 44:22 talk say, God don clean your sin; e don waka like morning mist for afternoon! Make you return to God, because e don pay the price to set you free.

If we remember the price wey God pay for us, e go help us no go back to our old sin or let the world control us. 

Once you collect salvation and redemption, make Jesus your Lord and Saviour, devil no get power over you again. 

Nothing suppose control you again, because you now belong to the person wey redeem you.

Redemption na God answer to the wahala wey human being get. Na the main thing for gospel—God no just forgive, e dey restore, change, and adopt us. Na love story wey pay the highest price to bring us back home.

No doubt, the sacrifice wey Christ make get plenty value and the invitation wey God give everybody as he tell us for Revelation 22:17, show say the death of Christ clear the sin of all believers, make sure say dem go get faith and God go keep dem till glory. Na wetin e suppose do be that.

Redemption no be just grammar for Bible—na real life wey fit change how you dey waka, talk, and relate every day. 

Redemption mean say your past mistake no define you again. You go dey see yourself with grace, no be guilt. 

Redemption na every day new chance. Every morning na fresh start. You fit talk, “I dey redeemed, so I no go carry yesterday shame.”

Redemption na the better choice; e dey remind you say you don dey bought with price (1 Corinthians 6:20), so you go wan live with purpose and integrity.

For this world, our wahala na to resist the things wey God don redeem us from. To be God pikin go dey real and heaven go dey real when we trust the word of God wey be true and sure, backed by the Spirit of God.

From Genesis, we see say God dey do everything by e word, and Holy Spirit dey ready to show us how God dey use e word redeem us.

You go waka for redemption now? 

God word na im bond; you no fit separate God from e word or e word from God.

Because God don redeem us, make we dey tell others wetin God do for us—the gospel story. Psalm 107:2 talk say, “God don redeem you? Abeg talk am! Tell people say God don redeem you from your enemies.”

PRAYER: Papa God, thank you say you buy me with the blood of your Son. Thank you for my redemption in Jesus name, amen.

WALKING IN REDEMPTION 

Ephesians 1:7

 

Redemption comes from a Latin root meaning “to buy back.” The term is used to describe freeing someone from chains, slavery, or prison—a divine act of rescue, restoration, and renewal. Redemption is a central theme running from Genesis to Revelation. It’s not just about being saved from sin; it’s about being bought back, restored to purpose, and welcomed into relationship with God.

Every human being on earth was redeemed by Christ’s death, but it is an individual’s responsibility to receive the gift of redemption. Redemption does not become a reality unless we identify with the finished work of the cross and the sacrificial offering of the Savior, Christ Jesus.

We were purchased by the precious blood of Christ, giving Him authority over our lives and souls. 

1 Corinthians 7:23 says, “God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world.” 

We are made acceptable to God in Christ, for it is He alone whose sacrifice, by the mercy of God, is imputed to us for the forgiveness of sins.

Are you walking in that costly-purchased redemption?

As stated in Isaiah 44:22, God blotted out your sins; they are gone like morning mist at noon! Oh, return to Me, for I have paid the price to set you free.

Remembering the price paid for our salvation should keep us from returning to our sinful ways and becoming enslaved by the world. 

When we receive salvation and redemption, making Jesus Lord and Savior over our lives, Satan no longer has any authority over us. 

Nothing else should have the audacity to lord over us once we are redeemed, because we then belong to the One who redeemed us.

Redemption is God’s answer to humanity’s deepest need. It’s the heartbeat of the gospel—God not only forgives, but restores, transforms, and adopts. It’s the story of love that pays the highest price to bring us home.

Without doubt, the infinite worth of Christ’s sacrifice and the genuineness of God’s “whoever will” invitation to all who hear the gospel (Revelation 22:17), the doctrine of redemption states that the death of Christ put away the sins of all believers and ensured that they would be brought to faith through regeneration and kept in faith for glory, and that this is what it was intended to achieve.

Redemption isn’t just a theological concept tucked away in Scripture—it’s a living, breathing reality that can shape how we walk, talk, and relate every single day. 

Redemption means you’re no longer defined by past mistakes but have a new mindset. You begin to see yourself through the lens of grace, not guilt. 

Redemption is a daily renewal. Each morning becomes a fresh start. You can say, “I’m redeemed, so I don’t have to carry yesterday’s shame.”

Redemption is the better choice; it’s knowing you’ve been bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20), which inspires us to live with purpose and integrity.

Our earthly suffering is to resist those things we’ve been redeemed from. Being a child of God becomes real, and heaven becomes real when we realize the absolute integrity of the word—written, inspired, and breathed—of the living God given to us directly, in absolute truth, trusted and backed by the Spirit of God.

From Genesis, we see that God did everything by His word, and the Holy Spirit has a great desire to show us how God works through His word to redeem us.

Would you walk in redemption now? 

The word of God is His bond; we cannot separate Him from His word or His word from Him.

The fact that we have been redeemed should cause us to tell others about what God has done for us—the gospel story. As stated in Psalm 107:2, “Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.”

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for purchasing me with the precious blood of your Son. Thank you for my redemption in Jesus’ name, amen.

PIDGIN FRUSTRATION 

Isaiah 41:10 ‘So make una nor fear, bikos I dey with una!

Na mi bi una God, so make anytin nor make una fear!

I go make una strong kon help una and I go protet and save una.’

 

Frustration na wen pesin dey feel defeated, disappointed, and like say e no get power to do anything. E dey pain when we wan do something but e no gree happen. 

I dey frustrated well well right now! Wetin be this kind wahala sef? This frustration too much! We all sabi am, we don taste am before, and e dey sad say sometimes na we dey cause am for ourselves and for other people. Frustration dey show say no progress, success, or fulfilment don happen as we hope.

Frustration dey everywhere—men, women, old people, young people, everybody dey chop am one way or another. E fit make pesin feel weak, defeated, disappointed, and empty. 

Na real human emotion frustration be—e dey born from expectations wey no happen, promises wey dey delay, or our desire wey dey clash with God own timing.

Look Job case—Job suffer well, e confuse for wetin happen to am (Job 3; Job 10). But even like that, e no turn back from God. 

Moses sef dey frustrated as e lead Israelites for wilderness. Dem dey complain, dey disobey—e tire am! As Numbers 11:10–15 tell us.

David cry for Psalm, say enemies dey progress, and justice no dey show (Psalm 73:2–3, 21–22). 

Paul carry thorn for body wey dey disturb am, but e later understand say God grace dey enough for 2 Corinthians 12:7–10.

Frustration dey come as promises delay—like Abraham and Sarah wey wait tire before Isaac come for Genesis 16. 

John the Baptist begin doubt Jesus when e dey prison, as Jesus no act like Messiah wey e expect (Matthew 11:2–3).

FRUSTRATION

FRUSTRATION

Isaiah 41:10

Frustration is the feeling of defeat, disappointment, and ineffectiveness that serves no purpose. It’s being upset or annoyed at being unable to change or achieve a set goal.

I’m so frustrated right now! What sort of frustration is this? This is so frustrating! Frustration! We all know it, we’ve all experienced it, and sadly, sometimes we cause it for ourselves and for others. Frustration occurs in the absence of progress, success, or fulfilment of something desired.

There are all kinds of frustrations in life; people everywhere are frustrated daily by one thing or another with no exception. Frustration can leave us feeling crippled, defeated, disappointed, dissatisfied, and empty.

Frustration is a deeply human emotion—often born from unmet expectations, delayed promises, or the tension between our desires and God’s timing.

We see frustration in Job’s suffering and confusion over his trials, reflecting emotional and spiritual frustration in Job 3; Job 10. Yet, he wrestles with God rather than turning away.

Leading the Israelites through the wilderness was frustrating for Moses, who often felt overwhelmed by their complaints and disobedience according to Numbers 11:10-15.

In the Psalms, David pours out his frustration when enemies prosper and justice seems delayed as seen in Psalm 73:2–3, 21–22.

The thorn in Paul’s flesh caused him distress, yet he learned that God’s grace was sufficient in 2 Corinthians 12:7–10.

Delayed promises, such as Abraham and Sarah’s decades-long wait for Isaac, can cause frustration seen in Genesis 16.

Unmet expectations, like John the Baptist’s questioning of Jesus’ identity while imprisoned, reflect frustration when the Messiah hadn’t acted as expected according to Matthew 11:2–3.

When frustration sets in, we must handle it with prayer and honesty. David, Jeremiah, and even Jesus in Gethsemane modelled this approach.

Verses like Proverbs 3:5–6 and Romans 8:28 remind us to trust God’s plan, even when it’s unclear.

Psalm 73 shows how entering God’s presence can shift our view from envy and despair to hope and clarity.

Anointing is not a deterrent to frustration—Moses was anointed to lead God’s people, yet he faced deep frustration.

Life is generally frustrating, but Isaiah 41:10 says not to be dismayed no matter how frustrating it gets because God’s hand is always prepared to uphold us.

Frustration is confusing, making one feel so close yet so far away, and empties us of the pleasures and joys of life. We get frustrated sometimes even in our prayers—feeling like we’ve prayed a long time for something, yet it feels like an eternity to expect answers that never come (James 4:3).

Joshua assured the children of Israel in Joshua 1:9 that the Lord will always be with them, so there was no reason for them to be discouraged. The Lord gives us strength and courage to see us through frustrating situations.

Pain and suffering will always birth frustration, but how we react, handle, and come out of it depends on who and what we trust—ourselves, others, or God,Psalm 20:7.

When we recognize that some of our problems have no human solution, we learn to take them to the Lord rather than try to solve them ourselves. We must give our frustrations to the Lord, as only He can help us in 1 Peter 5:7.

We become tunnel-visioned when we are too close to a situation and fail to see the big God we have, focusing instead on the huge problem.

Despite our discouragement, pain, and sins, God loves us, made a promise, and has great plans for us. God could have said after Adam and Eve sinned, “I am done with you human beings!” or to you and me, “I am done with you,” but instead, He offers us solution, love, mercy, and compassion to see us through frustrating seasons.

We wake up daily with some sort of frustration and wonder how we’ll hold out till the end of the day without breaking down or giving up. Fear not! Look up to the One whose peace passes all understanding to fill and overflow you with peace instead of frustration say Philippians 4:7.

Don’t allow frustration to eat you up and steal your joy. Instead, let the word of God swallow up frustration and the joy of the Lord strengthen you.

PRAYER: Lord, God, grant me the grace and strength to handle every frustrating situation wisely and allow you to lead me through it in Jesus’ name. Amen.
