PIDGIN CRY ME A RIVER!

Psalm 42:3 “dey kry both day and nite and na tears bi di only food wey I dey chop and my enemies dey tell mi sey, “Where dat yor God dey sef?”

 

“Stop to dey cry! Wipe your eye! No need to dey cry! Cry no fit solve anything!” 

But Bible full with tears—Jesus even cry for John 11:35.

Cry me a river na way wey people dey talk when dem no get sympathy for person wey dey complain or dey too emotional. E mean say the person dey cry so much like say e fit fill river with tears, but the person wey dey talk no care or dey ignore the crying.

Some tears na fake (crocodile tears), but some tears na real. Anything fit make person cry—happiness, joy, laughter, pain, disappointment, and more. 

Bible talk about all kinds of crying and why dem happen, and e good to know say God no waste our tears.

Sometimes, after breakup, person fit talk, “I cry river for you, now na your turn to cry me river.” 

If person dey complain small thing, person fit talk sarcastically, “Cry me river!” 

This phrase dey used to ignore complaint for everyday talk, sometimes as joke, sometimes sharply.

But you don ever cry well well because wahala too much? You don feel pain wey make your tears no stop? 

Sometimes life hard, we feel say God don forget us, and all we fit do na cry—like Israelites for Psalm 137 wey cry by river for Babylon, dey wait for God help.

Why you dey cry? God don forget you? You feel say nobody dey see you or hear you?  Tears na part of life!

God make us get feelings. E dey hear our cry and see every tear we shed. Time dey for crying as Ecclesiastes 3:4 put am. 

Cry na how we show how we feel, e good to cry. God make us cry. Sometimes crying dey refresh and heal us because tears no go last forever according to Psalm 30:5.

No stop yourself from good cry. No hide your tears. God dey see your tears and hear your cry according to Psalm 34:15, and Him go come help you.

Tears dey help: 

- Basal tears dey keep eye fresh and moist. 

- Reflex tears dey wash eye when something dey irritate am. 

- Emotional tears get stress hormone wey help reduce pain and stress.

Crying dey calm us, reduce pain, and fit bring support from people and God  say Psalm 18:6. 

When last time you cry? Or you think say crying na for weak people? Even Jesus, the Saviour, cry because e get compassion and pain—so why we no go cry?

David talk say him tears be him food because e no fit chop, e cry because e need God  for Psalm 42:3. You don cry to God before?

David talk for Psalm 145:18-19 say God dey help people wey cry to am, and for Psalm 56:8 say God no forget him tears, e dey keep am and answer prayer  as we see for 2 Kings 20:5) .

Who you dey cry to for help? Make you sabi say like Job learn for Job 30:24, not everybody go help you when you cry.

If you wan cry river, cry am, but make you remember: 

Luke 6:21b talk say, “Blessed be you wey dey cry now, because you go laugh later.” Cry! God dey see and hear your tears.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You say You dey see every tear and hear every cry. Comfort me when I dey sad, and remind me say my tears no go waste for Your eye. Help me trust You for every time wey I dey cry, because joy go come. For Jesus name, Amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
