PIDGIN I TOO BUSY!

Luke 10:36-42 “Jesus kon ask di man wey e dey follow tok sey, “Among dis three men, wish one yu tink sey bi neighbour to di man wey tif attack?”

37Di man wey sabi di law well-well kon ansa, “Na di one wey kare for di man.” So, Jesus kon tell am, “Make yu go do di same tin too.” Jesus And Marta

38As Jesus and en disciples still dey travel, dem rish one village and one woman wey en name bi Marta kon welkom dem for en house. 39 Mary, wey bi Marta sista, sidan near Jesus leg dey listin to wetin e dey tish. 40But Marta nor happy, bikos of all di work wey e dey do, so e meet Jesus kon sey, “Oga God! Si, my sista don leave all di work for mi. Abeg, tell am make e kom help mi.” 41Jesus ansa am, “Marta! Marta! Yu dey too wahala yorsef about many tins, 42na only one tin dey important and Mary don choose di korrect tin and nobody go fit take am from am.”

 

“I dey busy! I too busy! I no get time!”—this one dey sound familiar, abi? For this our world wey everything dey move fast, everybody just dey rush, dey find quick result. Even with all our speed and technology, we still dey more busy than people before us, but we still dey act more selfish and self-centred.

This our busy life don make us forget how to show simple kindness and care. Galatians 6:2 talk say make we help carry each other load, but many of us dey too busy. Jesus command us for Matthew 22:39 make we love others as we love ourselves, but we no dey ever too busy to care for ourself. We don dey behave like Cain for Genesis 4:9, dey ask, “I be my brother keeper?” As people and as Christians, e bad say we dey too busy to help others, but we want make others help us.

Everybody get the same twenty-four hours for one day. Nobody get pass or less, but we dey always wish for more time, even though we never use the one wey we get well. We dey overwhelmed with plenty wahala—school run, work, shopping, house cleaning—just dey move from one thing to another like robot. As we dey do all these, we dey forget the things wey really matter: relationship, care, and connection.

You dey too busy to rest, spend time with your people, visit sick, orphans, widows, or even relax? Some of us don even busy reach, we no get time for God to talk to us or use us help others. Sometimes, we dey too busy for the same people wey God send us to help.

When we too busy, we dey behave like Martha for Luke 10:38-42—dey distracted by many things, dey forget wetin really important. If we talk true, many times we be like Martha pass Mary. We dey rush dey do wetin “suppose to be done,” but we dey miss special time with Jesus, family, and friends. But Jesus talk say, “Mary choose the better thing, and nobody go fit take am from her.” Na those memories and relationship dey last.

To make time for anything, na choice. To make time for God na decision, just like all other things we dey choose daily. We dey make time for wetin dey important to us. Why we no go make time for wetin important to God? Jesus talk for Matthew 6:33: “Seek first the kingdom of God and Him righteousness, and all this other things go follow.”

No matter how busy you dey, start small and simple. Try serve others with your gift, time, and talent. You fit set just 10 minutes a day for God—5 minutes for morning, 5 minutes for night to read Bible and pray. Fix time to check on your loved ones too. Even small, steady effort fit make big change.

James 1:26-27 talk say true religion na to care for orphans and widows when dem dey suffer. Jesus talk for Matthew 25:40 say how we treat people wey need help na real faith. But many times, na busyness dey stop us from doing am.

To make time for Jesus—even when life hard—no just possible, e dey important for your spiritual growth, peace, and purpose. Here be practical, Bible way to help you keep Jesus for centre, no matter how busy you dey.

People suppose feel God love through us. We dey find time for social media, TV, and enjoyment, but to spare small time to show Jesus to others dey hard. Christ no dey ever too busy for us—so why we go dey too busy for Him people? Make we learn to help each other and make sure say we no dey add more wahala to anybody life. Make we no too busy to help.

PRAYER: Papa God, abeg help me make I dey conscious of my activities and sabi choose the things wey go benefit me and others, wey go follow Your will and purpose. Na Jesus name I pray, 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. ...
